Effect of different growth regulators on seedling performances of Melia dubia cuttings

Abstract

The experiment was conducted to study the “Effect of different growth regulators on growth performances of Melia dubia cuttings” was conducted in the Forest Nursery and Research centre, College of Forestry of Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Prayagraj. Five growth hormones used for stem cutting (IBA, IAA, NAA, GA3 and 2, 4-D) in doses of 100ppm each along with control condition. It was found out that using of T2- IBA 100ppm gave the most effective results in sprout percentage, sprout /cutting, survival percentage, diameter, leaf area, number of roots, fresh roots weight, dry roots weight, shoot length, fresh shoot weight, dry shoot weight compared to T0 and other treatments. So it can be recommended T2 (IBA 100 ppm) was the best and effective growth regulators for rasing Melia dubia cuttings.
