ROOTING AND SURVIVAL PERCENTAGE IN GUAVA (PSIDIUMGUAJAVA L.) CUTTINGS AND ITS RESPONSE TO DIFFERENT IBA CONCENTRATIONS

Abstract

Guava mainly propagates asexually through cuttings. IBA concentration at different levels (ppm) play a vital role in the survival and rooting in guava cutting. To investigate the response of guava cuttings to various concentrations of IBA for further research work, the findings of previously published literature are summarised in this paper for observing the response of different IBA concentration to rooting and survival percentage of guava. The summarised result suggests IBA at 2000 ppm for the better survival and at 4000 ppm for the better rooting of guava cuttings.
