Effect of IBA and NAA levels on growth traits of Kagzi lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle)

Abstract

The present experiment entitled “Effect of IBA and NAA levels on growth traits of Kagzi lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle)” was conducted at Garden, College of Horticulture, Department of Fruit Science, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh in the year 2018-2019. It was carried out in complete randomized design with 16 treatment and each treatment replicated thrice. The results of this study on the effect of IBA 1000-3000 ppm and NAA 1000-3000 ppm alone and combination on the growth of citrus cutting are discussed and interpreted in the light of previous research in India and abroad. The experiment showed significant finding and concluded that treatment of T15 (IBA 3000 ppm + NAA 3000 ppm) showed early days of sprouting (22.00 days), increased in number of sprouts per cuttings (8.33), sprouts length (14.56cm) and diameter (6.01mm), number of leaves per cutting (20.97), length of leaves (5.16cm), width of leaves (4.37 cm) and percentage of sprouted cuttings (73.09%) was maximum.
