Abstract:
The experiment was carried out in the field of department of Vegetable Science at Pt. KLS College of Horticulture and Research Station, Rajnandgaon (C.G.) in the year 2021-22 in the field of Vegetable Science with a view to study the “Standardization of method for propagation of potato plant growth by stem cutting”. The crop Potato of variety Kufri Lalima were used to grown in 9 number of treatments with 3 replications into the field in a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The soil of experimental field was sandy clay soil. Recommend dose of manure and fertilizer were applied during the field preparation in 9 treatments viz., T₁: IAA 500 ppm, T₂: IAA 1000 ppm, T₃: IAA 1500 ppm, T₄: IAA 2000 ppm, T₅: IBA 500 ppm, T₆: IBA 1000 ppm, T₇: IBA 1500 ppm, T₈: IBA 2000 ppm and T₉: Control-Water. The crop growth parameters like maximum survival percentages (84.00), plant establishment (%)(86.84), plant height (60.00 cm), no. of shoot (7.50), no. of compound leaves/plants (54.20), fresh weight of shoot (182.00 gm/plant) and dry weight of shoot (22.75 gm/plant) were reported in treatment T₆ (IBA 1000 ppm) which is found statically at par with treatment T₇ (IBA 1500 ppm) and T₃ (IAA 1500 ppm), while minimum was recorded in treatment T₉ (Control-Water). On the basis of overall performance, the treatment T₆ (IBA 1000 ppm) was found best for growth of potato.
