Abstract:
Citrus (Citrus spp.) is grown commercially via asexual methods with the exception of India. Cutting, grafting and layering are the most common forms of asexual propagation in citrus. Cuttings and layering treated with a high concentration of IBA had the maximum rooting and survival rates, but the mist house growth environment was shown to be efficient in enhancing the success rate of cuttings. Rooting media, with regards to the success rate of vegetative multiplication in citrus species, play a vital role in the multiplication of roots and subsequently boost growth in plants grown vegetatively. As per this review based on various research studies, the rooting medium, field soil + sand + coco-peat (1:1:1) enhanced rooting percentage, field soil + sand + farm yard manure (1:1:1) improved survival percentage and the field soil + sand + vermicompost (1:1:1) treatment demonstrated the maximum percentage of survival and roots.
