    Studies on the effect of growth hormones on growth, rooting and survival of hardwood cuttings of fig (Ficus carica L.) under different growing conditions
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-10) Kumar, Ajay; Thakur, Nidhika
    The investigation was carried out during 2020-2021 on the propagation of fig through hardwood cuttings at Instructional farm, Department of Fruit Science, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda to find out the effect of IBA and NAA on growth, rooting and survival of hardwood cuttings of fig (Ficus carica L.) under different growing conditions. The experiment was set up in RBD (factorial) having thirty cuttings with three replications which were treated with different concentrations of growth hormones i.e. T1 (IBA 1000 ppm), T2 (IBA 2000 ppm), T3 (NAA 1000 ppm), T4 (NAA 2000 ppm), T5 (IBA 1000 ppm + NAA 1000 ppm), T6 (IBA 2000 ppm + NAA 2000 ppm) and T7 (control) which were planted under C1 (open field), C2 (shade house) and C3 (polyhouse) conditions. Among the shoot parameters, the earliest sprouting (15.67) were recorded with T6 (IBA 2000 ppm + NAA 2000 ppm) under C1 (open field), while T6 (IBA 2000 ppm + NAA 2000 ppm) under C2 (shade house) recorded maximum shoot diameter (0.93 cm), shoot length (11.42 cm), number of leaves (10.32), fresh weight of shoot (7.83 g) and dry weight of shoots (2.35 g). The maximum root growth parameters viz., longest root length (23.18 cm), number of roots (26.67), fresh weight of roots (2.53 g) and dry weight of roots (0.79 g) and the highest survival percentage (87.35) were also recorded with the treatment T6 (IBA 2000 ppm + NAA 2000 ppm) under C2 (shade house). On the basis of results for fig propagation under Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh, fig hardwood cuttings treatment with IBA 2000 ppm + NAA 2000 ppm under the shade house conditions can be recommended to nursery growers and researchers to obtain maximum shoot growth, root growth and highest survival percentage.
