ABSTRACT
In order to estimate the effect of plant growth regulators on rooting in cuttings of fig, the present investigation was conducted at College of Horticulture, Bagalkot. An experiment was set up in a two factorial design, with two different concentration of IBA & NAA (2500 and 3000ppm) and different fig varieties (Poona, Deanna, Bellary, Dinakar, Conadria), 90days after starting the experiment, rooting, root length, survival percentage were all evaluated. Among the different IBA concentrations, IBA at 3000 ppm recorded significantly highest percentage of rooted cuttings (36.22), number of roots (21.32), root length (21.95 cm), survival percentage (86.52). . The interaction of the Indole butyric acid and varieties was significant for rooting, and root length and survival percentage The survival percentage (89.47), root length (25.56 cm) and number of roots (24.14) were significantly highest in cuttings of Conadria treated with IBA at 3000 ppm concentration.
Key words :
Fig varieties, IBA (Indole butyric acid), NAA (Naphthalene acetic acid), Plant propagation.
