ABSTRACT

Different concentrations of IBA (0, 1000, 2000 and 3000 ppm) on guava semi hard wood and hardwood cuttings planted in different rooting media ( Soil, Silt, Silt +Soil, Soil + Silt+ FYM, Soil+ Silt +Vermi compost) under net house condition poly bags. Significantly higher success percentage (33.09, 36.63%) was noted in both of cuttings treated with 3000 ppm IBA as compared to control (21.68 and 23.9 %) in semihard wood and hard wood respectively. The plants produced 5.44 and 5.33 numbers of leaves, 14.37 and 10.91 cm shoot length and 26.58 and 24.10 number of roots as compared to control . The study provided useful information on guava clonal multiplication through cutting and IBA impact on samihard wood and hard wood cuttings.
