Fêz-se o estudo do enraizamento de estacas de figueira em cinco épocas sucessivas de plantio, espaçadas de 25 dias, a partir de maio. Para cada época adotaram-se duas profundidades de plantio: 1 - estacas enterradas até 4/5 do seu comprimento; 2 - estacas enterradas pela metade. Os resultados mostraram que em tôdas as épocas as estacas mais profundas enraizaram melhor. As porcentagens de enraizamento das estacas enterradas até 4/5 decresceram à medida que se atrazou a época de plantio: 1.ª - 59,6%; 2.ª - 40,8%; 3.ª - 41,4%; 4.ª - 33,4% e 5.ª - 13,8%.
A study of rooting of fig tree cuttings was made in five successive times of planting as from May 1966 on. For each time two depths of planting the cuttings were used: 1 - burying up to 4/5 of their length; 2 - burying only half the length. The trial has shown that in all planting times the deeper the cuttings were planted the better were the rooting rates. The percentage of rooting decreased gradually the later the planting of the cuttings was done.
