Effect of Indole Butyric Acid on Rooting of Semi - Hard Cuttings of Ziziphus Jujuba


Abstract in English

Semi-wooden cuttings of two - jujuba cultivars were vegetitirely propagated under greenhouse conditions, by using different concentrations of Indole butyric acid (IBA), at Hanadi Research Station, Lattakia. The rooting percentage reached 71.3% after two months for the Ziziphus jujube mill, and 83.3% for the Ziziphus jujube tayan tsizao, when they were treated with 4000 mg/L of (IBA) for five seconds while the rooting percentage was zero for the non-treated cuttings (Control) .
