Effect of Various Preparations for Plant Rooting on Olive Cuttings

The effect of different rooting agents on the propagation of olive plant by means of cuttings was investigated in a comparative manner. Experimental research works were carried out in the greenhouse complex of the Absheron Experimental Station. Olive plant cuttings from different varieties were taken as the object of the study. Rooters (IST and naphthenic acids) were used to influence the rapid rooting of cuttings and the increase in the number of lateral roots. During the conducted experiments, different results were obtained in different variants. It was observed that indolyl acetic acid and naphthenic acid were more effective on olive cuttings in comparison with the control option. Based on the conducted studies, it was found that rooting of cuttings was accelerated as a result of the effect of rooters. Results were more successful in the indolyl acetic acid variant than in the other variants. So, under the influence of 100 cuttings IST, 96 cuttings in Agbaba variety, 87 in Jigirina variety, 93 in Pikvales variety, and 89 cuttings in Azerbaijani olive were observed. Under the influence of naphthenic acid, rooting occurred in 92 of 100 cuttings of Agbaba variety, 87 of Jigirina variety, 85 of Pikwales variety, and 91 of Azerbaijani olives. As a result, it was determined that for the rapid development of the olive plant, cuttings should be taken from healthy and well-nourished trees and indolyl acetic acid should be used as a rooting solution.
