Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of number of nodes and type of cuttings on survival percentage and growth parameters in passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) during the year 2022-2023 at North Farm of School of Agricultural Sciences, Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The study revealed that the survival percentage was maximum in semi hardwood cuttings with four node (84%) and it also recorded maximum number of leaves per plant (3.36), maximum shoot length (5.30 cm),maximum root length (12.94 cm), and maximum leaf area (38.84 cm²). The semi hardwood cuttings with five nodes recorded the earliest rooting (26.60 days) compared to other types of nodes and cuttings.
