| dc.description.abstract | Sissoo is a multipurpose deciduous tree species. It grows in tropical to subtropical climate. In recent past, the importance of this species has been increased because of its recommendation for afforestation of most of the wastelands and for agroforestry due to its suitability for the above purposes. Vegetative propagation through cuttings is a method of propagation in which selected trees can be multiplied rapidly while maintaining uniformity in plantation stand and biomass production. It also obviate the Inherent biological problems connected with seeds. The objectives of the present experiment are (i) To study the role of different rooting media on the sprouting and rooting behavior of stem. Cuttings of sissoo, (ii) To study the role of different rooting media on the survival and growth of plants. The rooting media taken in this experiment were soil, sand and vermicomposting. There were twelve treatments viz. Soil (100%), Sand (100%). Vermicomposting ( (100%), Soil (50 %) + Sand (50 %). Soil (50%) + Vermicomposting (50% ) , Sand (50%) + Vermicomposting (50%). Soil (75%) + Sand (25%). Soil (75%) + Vermicomposting (25%). Sand (75%) + Vermicomposting (25%), Soil (25%) + Sand (75%) , Soil (25% ) + Vermicomposting (75%) , Sand (25%) + Vermicomposting (75%) . Accordingly, Mixtures were prepared by volume and filled in polythene bags of the size 8"x4" for planting the cuttings. Replications were three and the design. of the experiment was Randomized Block Design (R.B.D.). The observations were taken on different parameters i.e. number of days taken for initiation of shoot emergence and completion of shoot emergence, number of shoots developed per cutting, shoot length at monthly intervals, basal diameter of shoots after three and four months, number of days taken for rooting, percentage of cuttings rooted, number | |
