Influence of Iba on Rooting Potential of Torch Glory Bougainvillea glabra During Winter Season

Abstract

The hardwoods cutting of Bougainvillea glabra variety Torch Glory were collected from healthy vigorous shoots of 3 year old plants. The cuttings were collected from November 15 at monthly interval upto February 15. The 15 cm long cuttings were prepared and treated with different concentration of IBA solutions by quick dip method. The cuttings were planted in 1 kg capacity polythene bags containing soil, sand and FYM mixture in 1:1:1 (v/v) ratio and kept under net house condition (25% filtrations) for rooting. The maximum (100.00%) rooting and sprouting in cutting was recorded at IBA 2000, 2500 and 3000 mgL . The maximum 1 length of sprout/cutting (18.77 cm) and number of roots/cutting (21.22) were found in 3000 mg.L in the month 1
