Rooting of Hardwood Cuttings of bougainvillea Peruviana Cv. Shubra with Growth Regulator Treatments

In Bougainvillea peruviana cv. Shubra, hardwood cuttings were given quick dip treatment with various concentrations of NAA, IBA and their combinations. The treatment of cuttings with IBA2000 ppm (60.00%) was significantly better than the control and all the other treatments with respect to ischolar_maining of cuttings (i.e. per cent ischolar_maining 60.00%, average number of ischolar_mains per cutting 8.55 and average length of ischolar_mains 36.92 cm) and establishment of the plants (55.50%), irrespective of the method of plantation. Among the method of plantation i.e. polybags and sand beds, the differences were non-significant with respect to per cent ischolar_maining, however, average number of ischolar_mains per cutting (6.09) and average length of ischolar_mains (30.46 cm) was significantly more in the cuttings planted in sand beds than polybags and establishment of plants was significantly more in the cuttings planted in polybags (28.07%) than the sand beds (23.40%), irrespective of growth regulator treatment
