The effect of Auxins and Media on rooting of Buxus suffruticosa L.


Abstract in English

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 rooting 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.
