Effect of Chemical Treatment on Rooting Response of Juvenile Stem Cuttings of Quercus leucotrichophora (BAN OAK)
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of chemical treatment (IBA) on ischolar_maining, primary ischolar_main number and ischolar_main length of the cuttings of Himalayan evergreen oak (Quercus leucotrichohora Camus). A significant variation at P<0.05 level was observed on mean ischolar_maining percentage in two concentrations % IBA. The per cent ischolar_maining and primary ischolar_main numbers improved markedly upon application of both concentrations. Maximum per cent ischolar_maining (36) was recorded in cuttings treated with IBA 4000 ppm followed by (28) IBA 2000 ppm, while it was only 24 per cent ischolar_maining in control (cuttings treated with telicam powder only). Primary ischolar_main number was also maximum in the cuttings treated with IBA 4000 ppm.
