Effect of Methods of IBA Application on Rooting Performance of Crape Jasmine (Chandani) Soft wood Cuttings

The soft wood cuttings of Tabernaemontana coronaria were collected from healthy plants under pruning. The cuttings were collected in the month of June. 10-15 cm long cut tings were prepared and treated with different concentration of IBA by quick dip and powder preparation method. The cuttings were planted in root trainers of 100 cc capacity filled with vermi-compost and kept under mist chamber for rooting. The study pointed out that among quick dip and powder preparation of IBA, the powder preparations resulted in better and faster induction of rooting characters and root numbers than quick dip method and control ones in mist chamber.
