Propagation Characteristics of the Rare Endemic Rhododenderon micranthum Turcz.
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The presented article describes the technology of Rhododenderon micranthum propagation technology. Obtained results will be useful for multiplication of perspective ornamental varieties.
At the same time I have some remarks.
1. It is not described how the rooting rate was calculated.
2. Page 5. Here the parameters of cuttings’ growth are described. But it is not clear what exactly was measured and weighted. Most likely it was shoots and roots growth (not including the length of cuttings), but it must be specified clearly.
3. Also I suggest adding the “Conclussion”.
The article can be published after minor revision.
