Effect of different type of stem cuttings and plant growth regulators on rooting of Jasminum multiflorum (Pink Kakada)


Author(s): Kumaresan M, M Kannan, A Sankari and CN Chandrasekhar

Abstract: Pertaining to the importance of jasmine, Jasminum multiflorum (Pink Kakada) can be a potential loose flower crop because of its year round flowering habit and colour full fragrant flowers. Though it naturally propagates through suckers, due to limited number of suckers, there is a need to find a solution for multiplication at commercial scale. Hence, the present experiment was conducted with three different type of cuttings along with different concentrations of growth regulators viz., IBA, NAA and their combinations. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Completely Randomized Design with two factors and three replications. The results revealed that the terminal cuttings treated with IBA 500 ppm + NAA 250 ppm registered maximum survival percentage of rooted cuttings (85.36 %), along with increased length of shoots (15.09 cm), number of roots (19.35), length of roots (22.25 cm) and number of leaves per rooted cutting (39.54 cm), while hardwood cuttings showed least days taken for sprouting (11.18 days) and maximum number of sprouted buds (3.84) per cutting.
