Rooting Response of Branch Cuttings of Teak (Tectona grandis) as Influenced by Growth Hormones and position of the Cutting on the Crown

The ischolar_maining response of branch cuttings of Tectona grandis (Teak) did not show significant difference of the effect of cutting position on the crown in the cuttings taken from cutting and seedling raised trees. Only hormonal treatment showed significant effects in the above case, however, cuttings taken from adult tree gave good response in both the cases (position of the cutting on the crown as well as hormonal treatment). Both IAA (Indole 3-acetic acid) and IBA (Indole 3-butlric acid) treatments promoted good ischolar_maining response in all cases. The finding clearly indicate the IDA promotes morc ischolar_maining in terms of ischolar_main number while NAA (Naphthalene aeetic acid) promotes more ischolar_main length.
