Abstract:
An Experiment was conducted to know the effect of rooting hormones and different growing conditions on the rooting properties of Rough lemoncuttings in the Doab a region of Punjab. The impact of varying Indolebutyric acid (IBA) concentrations and varied growth conditions on adventitious root production in rough lemon stem cutting was investigated. In June, Cuttings of around 20-22cm in length were treated with varying doses of IBA (500, 1000, 1500 ppm) before being planted in three conditions, i.e. Open sunlight area (G1), Partial shade of big tree throughout the day (G2), and Polyhouse conditions (G3).Cuttings were treated dip method for 5-7 seconds: Cuttings treated with 500ppmIBA showed the best root growth, root length, root thickness, and leaf sprouting results. In addition, the open area growth environment was shown to boost root development. Under the polyhouse situation, the performance of all rooting parameters was at its maximum. Overall, the IBA 500ppm treatment in a polyhouse combination was the most effective for the economic productivity of rough lemon rootstock.
