Abstract

The research was conducted at the polyhouse in the Department of Horticulture, Agriculture College, Bapatla. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 13 treatments, each replicated three times, was used. The effects of different auxins at various concentrations varied significantly among the treatments. Terminal cuttings of Chrysanthemum treated with IBA at 250 ppm followed by NAA at 200 ppm showed the longest shoot (11.98 cm), earliest rooting (5.07 days), longest root (7.71 cm), maximum rooting percentage (100%), and survival percentage (100%).

Keywords

Chrysanthemum, terminal cuttings, auxins, rooting percentage, survival percentage

Conclusion

In conclusion, based on the aforementioned results and discussions, it can be concluded that IBA at 250 ppm is the most effective for early root emergence, highest root number, rooting percentage, and greater survival percentage, with NAA at 200 ppm being the next best treatment for terminal cuttings of chrysanthemum.
