Abstract:
An experiment entitled “Effect of Rooting Substrates, PGR and Biofertilizers on root characteristic and success &survivabilityof Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) Cuttings cv. Bhagwa” was carried out during 2020-21 at RVSKVV – College of Horticulture, Mandsaur (MP). Experiment were consisting seventeen treatments and these treatments were replicated three times in CRD (Completely Randomized Design) and analyzed. Data raveled that treatment RS₁₇ (Soil + Vermicompost + Poultry Manure + IBA @ 2500 ppm + Trichoderma viride @ 2.5 g + PSB @ 2.5 g) show the best performance with respect of all of the parameters i.e. rooting percentage, length of longest root per cutting, diameter of thickest root per cutting, number of primary roots and secondary roots per cutting, fresh weight and dry weight of roots per cutting, success percentage of hardwood cutting and survival percent of hardwood cutting. RS₁ (soil) (without IBA and Bio-fertilizers treatment) observed the lowest values of the traits likeroot characteristic and success & survivability.
