Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Effect of cutting types and IBA treatments on success of vegetative propagation in crossandra (Crossandra infundibuliformis L.) var. Arka Shravya” was conducted at College of Horticulture, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh during 2018-2019. The experiment was carried out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design comprising fourteen treatment combinations with two replications from two factors i.e. cutting types at two levels (viz., terminal and semi hardwood) and IBA treatments at seven levels (100, 200, 300 ppm in prolonged dip method for 24 hours, 1000, 2000 and 3000 ppm in quick dip method for 10 seconds and 0 ppm (control). Among the treatments under study, terminal cuttings, IBA quick dip @ 3000 ppm for 10 seconds and combination of these two treatments performed the best with respect to different root and shoot characters as well as field establishment of rooted cuttings.
