Abstract

The ischolar_maining of juvenile shoot cuttings of Schefflera arboricola was studied during summer months 2013. Only one ischolar_maining hormone that is IBA in two concentrations i.e.2000 and 4000 ppm were applied to see the effect of ischolar_maining hormone. Maximum 65% ischolar_maining was observed in IBA 4000 ppm followed by 40% in IBA 2000 ppm and minimum 20% ischolar_maining recorded in control (Untreated cuttings).

Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of chemical treatment (IBA) on ischolar_maining of banana shrub (Michelia figo). A significant variation at P<0.05 level was observed on mean ischolar_maining percentage in two concentrations. The per cent ischolar_maining and primary ischolar_main numbers improved markedly upon application of higher concentrations. Maximum per cent ischolar_maining (60) was recorded in cuttings treated with IBA 4000 ppm followed by 45 per cent in IBA 2000 ppm. However, minimum (20) per cent ischolar_maining was discernable in untreated cuttings (cuttings treated with talcum powderonly) following the trend IBA 4000 ppm>IBA 2000 ppm>control. Primary ischolar_main number was also maximum in the cuttings treated with IBA 4000 ppm.
