About
Dr. Eliane Borges is a horticultural scientist whose research focuses on optimizing propagation techniques for small fruit crops, particularly blueberries, through the manipulation of environmental and hormonal factors. Her most-cited study, "Rooting of blueberry hardwood cuttings as affected by irrigation water pH and IBA" (2016, 3 citations), presented at the prestigious XXIX International Horticultural Congress, investigates how irrigation water pH and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentrations influence rooting success in blueberry hardwood cuttings. This work provides practical insights for nursery production, addressing critical challenges in clonal propagation by demonstrating that precise pH management can enhance rooting efficiency when combined with auxin treatments. While her citation count is modest, Dr. Borges’ contribution is notable for its applied relevance to sustainable horticulture, bridging fundamental plant physiology with real-world agricultural practices. Her research supports the development of more reliable propagation protocols, ultimately aiding growers in improving crop establishment and yield. Dr. Borges’ work exemplifies how targeted studies on propagation variables can have lasting impacts on commercial fruit production systems.
