(Forestry) Thesis.Sher-e- Kashmir University of Agriculrtural Sciences and Technology of Jammu36632https://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in/handle/1/5810161196Murraya koenigii (curry leaf) belonging to family Rutaceae is one of the important medicinal cum aromatic plant which is grown throughout the world. Curry leaf has been used for years in Unani and Ayurvedic prescriptions due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Inspite of having lots of medicinal values and good revenue, this plant has got least attention by scientists and researchers. Not much work has been done on the propagation of this species. A study entitled, “Standardization of propagation techniques in Murraya koenigii Spreng.” was carried out in the Division of Agroforestry, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu, Chatha, during the year 2019-2020 to identify the better hormonal concentration for rooting of stem cuttings and suitable potting mixture for seed germination and growth. Two experiments were laid out in CRD (Complete Randomization Design) to study the seed and vegetative propagation protocol. In the first experiment, there were thirteen treatments with three replications each. The results revealed that cuttings treated with IBA 2000 ppm significantly recorded maximum sprouting percentage, rooting percentage, number of lateral roots, shoot length, root length, number of leaves, fresh root biomass and dry root biomass. In the second experiment, efforts were made to select the best potting mixture for seed germination. The results indicated that out of the four different potting mixtures, the seeds sown in soil: sand: vermicompost, (1:1:1) showed significantly higher germination percentage, germinative energy, survival percentage, collar diameter, number of leaves, length of primary root, fresh shoot weight, fresh root weight, dry weight, root:shoot ratio and seedling quality index. Further studies need to be carried out to study the overall success of the seedlings/cuttings raised by using these potting mixtures and hormonal concentrations.EnglishThesis
