This study has been conducted to show the influence of some factors to the
rooting of semi-wooden cuttings of boxwood Boxus suffruticosa L. in order to
know the best concentration of indol biotryc acid (IBA) and the best rooting
media for the root
ing of boxwood cuttings .
The experiment was designed in the sub-plots method and semi-wooden
Boxwood cuttings were used. The cuttings were treated with three
concentrations of IBA: 3000, 5000, 10000 p.p.m. using fast dipping. Then the
cuttings were planted (distributed) in five rooting media, namely: sand, peatmoss,
khaffan, (sand+peat-moss) in the rate of (1:1), (khaffan+ perlite) in the
rate of 1:5 respectively. under protected conditions. The experiment has
continued for 8 weeks.
