Effects of Different IBA Doses on Rooting of Hardwood Cuttings of Some Citrus Rootstocks
Abstract :
It is known that there is high level of variation in citrus species in terms of rooting level of cuttings. In this study the effects of various IBA doses on rooting ratio, root number and root length of cuttings of nine Citrus rootstocks were investigated. Cuttings were collected from one year old shoots in March and planted in volcanic tufa in greenhouse. Rootings were not observed in trifoliata orange, Carrizo citrange, Cleopatra mandarin, Citrumelo 1452 in control and all IBA treatments. The highest (73,9%) and the lowest (9,5%) level of rootings were observed in Volkameriana and Yuzu respectively. On the other hand Volkameriana had maximum root number whereas rough lemon had the highest root length. Appropriate IBA concentration was determined to be 4000 ppm to induce rooting ratio, root number and root length for rootstocks studied.
