This study was conducted at glasshouse of Citrus and Tropical Research Department
in Tartus governorate, and Olive Nursery in Latakia governorate, during 2015 to
determine the influence of Indol-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) doses on hardwood and
softwood
top cuttings of three types of M. alba L. (B-1, B-5, KH-8) and three types
of M. nigra L. (M-4, KH-9, KH-1) and one fruitless type (B-3), which spreads
in different locations in Tartus, Syria. Hardwood cuttings were prepared during
February from one-year-old shoots, and the softwood top cuttings were prepared
during August in 2015. The cuttings were treated with different doses of IBA (1000,
2000 and 4000 ppm) in addition to the control application 0 ppm. The cuttings were
planted in the glasshouses in order to root.
