Influence of rooting media, IBA and humic acid on semi hardwood cutting of acid lime cv. Kagzi grown in Protrays under Southern Region of Rajasthan

Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Influence of Rooting Media, IBA and Humic Acid on Semi Hardwood Cutting of Acid Lime cv. Kagzi Grown in Protrays Under Southern Region of Rajasthan” was performed under shade net house condition at Krishi Vigyan Kendra Farm, Dungarpur during the year 2024-25. In the present study, Media-(M6) Cocopeat + Vermicompost + Perlite (3:1:1) + Alcohol (10 ml) and Rooting media dip-(G4) IBA @ 2000 ppm were better to influence shoot parameters significantly in acid lime cuttings. The twenty-four treatment combinations of media and rooting media dip were evaluated with three replications under factorial completely randomized design. The results exhibited significant effect of various treatment combinations on shoot parameters of acid lime during investigation. Maximum number of sprouting percentage (77.17%), shoot length (8.58 cm) at 90 DAP, final survival (73.17%) at 90 DAP and minimum days taken for sprout initiation (10.33) were recorded in M6G4 treatment combination i.e., (M6) Cocopeat + Vermicompost + Perlite (3:1:1) + Alcohol (10 ml) + (G4) IBA @ 2000 ppm.
