Synergistic effects of IBA, NAA and growing media on shoot initiation of peach cuttings

Résumé fourni par la source

This study investigates “The effect of various plant growth hormones and cutting maturity on the growth and development of peach plants (Prunus persica L.)”. The experiment was conducted at research field of School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Punjab. It includes nine treatments which were (T1: soil + IBA@1000ppm, T2: soil + vermicompost + IBA@2000ppm, T3: soil + vermicompost + cocopeat + IBA@3000ppm, T4: soil + vermicompost + cocopeat + sand + IBA@4000ppm, T5: IBA@1000 ppm + NAA@1000 ppm, T6: IBA@2000 ppm + NAA@1000 ppm, T7: IBA@3000 ppm + NAA@1000 ppm, T8: IBA@4000 ppm + NAA@1000 ppm, T9: Control and replicated three times in a randomized block design. Peach cuttings were used from the local variety of district Mandi (Seraj), Himachal Pradesh. In terms of growth, it was observed that the T2 (soil + vermicompost + IBA @2000ppm) shows superior results among all other treatments in shoot length (31.80 cm), Number of shoots per cutting (17.71 cm), Number of leaves per cutting (35.30), shoot diameter (2.70 mm), plant height (72.90 cm), leaf area (68.30 cm2), diameter if cuttings (10.03 mm), dry weight percentage of shoots (47.86 days), dry wt. of shoots (5.83 g), fresh wt. of shoots (12.18 g), sprouting percentage (75.30%), and days to sprouting (14.20 days).
