Effect of Different Levels of IBA and NAA on Rooting of Hardwood and Semi Hardwood Cutting in Fig

The investigation was carried out to study the effect of different levels of IBA and NAA on the rooting of hardwood and semi hardwood cuttings of Fig.The highest percentage of rooting, maximum number of roots, longest root length per cutting and maximum survival percentage of rooted cuttings was obtained with IBA 4000 ppm followed by IBA 2000 ppm in hardwood cuttings.Among different levels of IBA and NAA, IBA 4000 ppm recorded maximum root length, survival percentage and other shoot characters as compared to rest of the treatments.Thus, Fig can be propagated by hardwood cuttings treated with IBA 4000 ppm.
