Effect of plant growth regulators and chemical on survival of hardwood cuttings in fig (Ficus carica L.)

The experiment was carried out at Department of Horticulture (Fruit science) SHUATS, Prayagraj during the month of August, 2024 to November, 2024. To evaluate the “Effect of Plant Growth Regulators and Chemical on Survival of Hardwood Cuttings in Fig (Ficus carica L.)”. The experiment was laid out in RBD (Randomized Block Design) comprising of 16 treatments viz., T0 Control, T1 IAA500+NAA500+PG500, T2 IAA500 + NAA 1000+PG1000, T3 IAA500+NAA1500+PG1500 T4 IAA1500+NAA500+PG1000 T5 IAA1500 +NAA1000+PG500 T6 IAA1500+NAA1500+PG1500 T7IAA1000+NAA500+PG15 00 T8 IAA1000+NAA1000+PG500 T9 IAA1000+NAA1500+PG1000 T10 PG500+NAA500 T11 PG1000+NAA1500 T12 PG1500+NAA500 T13 PG500+IAA500 T14 PG1000+IAA 1000 T15 PG1000+IAA1500 with three replications in shed net house The treatment in each replication will be allotted randomly. The study revealed that the treatment T10: PG500 + NAA500 gave higher growth parameter such as: Plant height, no. of leaves, Plant spread, shoot diameter, no. of leaves, no. of shoots.
