The method of vegetative propagation by hard wood cutting is considered of the
most important ones of prevalent and successful in its cultivation to obtain a Punica
Granatum seeding which are genetically uniform.
In this research,it was used three
categories fPunica Granatum
,Municipal,French,Darcoche,where they were taken the hard wood cutting of sound trees
which free of insecticides and fungal infections and bacteria, and divided into groups
which in cluded five deals to know the effect of hormone,stratification,impact,the hard
wood cutting age and its length on rooting.
It was found that the last three tested categories had no hormone effects on rooting.
The soft wood cutting of one year-old overtook the ones of two-years of age,where
they have the largest effect of rooting.The highest precentage of rooting and stronger were
at the length of 30 cm.
Its advised for stratification of the Municipal class befor its cultivation because it
increases the rooting percentage.
Darcoche is easy for rooting, because it roots by ahigh percentage if it had a
stratification or impact by the conditions of continuous wetting before cultivation.
This study aimed to investigate Four levels of IBA concentration: (0
(control), 1000, 2000, 4000 ppm) and three kinds of rooting media: sand,
peatmoss, sand+sawdust in ratio of 1:1 in a factorial complete random design.
The results indicated that
the concentration of 2000 ppm was superior at
rooting percentage 76%, root number (20 roots) and root length 13 cm over the
other levels of concentration. Besides, the media of (Sand+Sawdust) was
superior at rooting percentage 72%, rooting number (19 roots), root length 11
cm, physical and chemical charactaristics and the charactaristics of the rooted
cuttings.
