Effect of IBA Auxin and Rooting Media on Rooting of the Stem Cuttings of Rosa damascena


Abstract in English

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.
