| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation entitled ‘Studies on propagation of marigold cv. Siracole’, was carried out at Floriculture Farm of Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP) during 2022-23. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Block Design (Factorial) to study the effect of various combinations of rooting media i.e., Cocopeat, Sand, Perlite and Vermicompost and different rooting hormone i.e., 500 ppm NAA, 250 ppm NAA on quality cutting production of marigold under different planting dates from February to July. Different root parameters like percent rooting, number of roots, length of the longest root, root fresh and dry weight, root volume and percent survival were observed to check the rooting performance of cuttings under different NAA treatments, various rooting media and different planting dates. From the studies, early rooting (18.33 days), maximum number of roots per cutting (43.37), fresh weight of roots (251.23 mg), dry weight of roots (29.69 mg), root volume (0.359 cm3) and highest percent survival (97.39%) of rooted cuttings were recorded when cuttings were treated with 500 ppm NAA as a rooting hormone and planted in the medium consisting of Cocopeat + Sand + Vermicompost (1:1:1v/v) in the month of June. While maximum percent rooting (96.82%) was found when 500 ppm treated cuttings were planted in the media comprising Cocopeat + Sand + Perlite (1:1:1v/v) in the month of June. From the studies, it may be concluded that 500ppm NAA is the best rooting hormone treatment for quality cutting production of marigold cv. ‘Siracole’ when planted in rooing medium consisting of Cocopeat + Sand + Vermicompost (1:1:1v/v). Further, June planting was found most suitable for quality cutting production. | |
