Abstract

Pomegranate (Punica grantum) is the major commercial fruit crops in arid and semi-arid region of the India, and it is multiply through cutting at large scale with the help of plant growth regulators. The PGR cost, availability and its solution prepration are not easy for the all nursery mans as well as successes rate is also not upto optimum marks. Therefore, some sugar sources are used in this study to enhance the rooting percentage and success rates. The present experiment entitled “Effect of IBA and Saccharides on rooting and growth in stem cuttings of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Bhagwa” was carried out during 2019-2020 at Fruit Research Station, Imalia, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, J.N.K.V.V., Jabalpur (M.P.). The present experiment was conducted to study the effect with seventeen treatment and three replications in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) under polyhouse condition on physiological parameters and benefit cost ratio. The study revealed

Keywords

Physiological parameters, Saccharide, Semi hard wood cuttings.

Conclusion

Based on the results of present investigation, it can be concluded that Sucrose 5000 ppm (T4) had significantly effective and promote the maximum leaf area at 90 and 120 days (331.10 cm and 485.25 cm), maximum leaf area index at 120 days (6.42), maximum leaf area duration (12.25), maximum chlorophyll content index (32.55) and minimum light transmission ratio (30.83 %) at 120 days. Similarly, the concentration Sucrose 5000 ppm (T4) had significantly minimum cost per cutting (13.94), maximum benefit per plant (21.06) and maximum benefit cost ratio (2.51).
