Vegetative Propagation of Buchanania lanzan Spreng. Root Cuttings

Buchanania lanzan is considered as difficult to ischolar_main species, hence ischolar_maining trial was conducted using two years old ischolar_main cuttings of Buchanania lanzan in non-mist propagation chamber. The maximum ischolar_maining percent (67.66 ), length of longest ischolar_main (1.89 mm), and number of leaves (1.32) were recorded with IAA 1600 ppm. The maximum ischolar_maining per cent (52.7) was observed in ischolar_main cuttings having 1.5 - 3.5 mm thickness. However, combined effect of cutting thickness and IAA concentration revealed that cuttings having diameter of 3.6 - 5.5 mm showed maximum ischolar_maining percentage with 800 and 1600 ppm IAA
