Root of cutting Jabuticabeira treated with indolbutyric acid (AIB) and naphthalene acetic acid (ANA)

This study was to evaluate the propagation by cuttings treated with auxins, indolebutyric acid (AIB) and naphthaleneacetic acid (ANA) at concentrations of 0, 1000, 3000, 5000 and 7000mg.L-1. The apical and basal cuttings were used in an intermittent nebulization chamber, with 70% luminosity, for a period of 180 days. It was observed that the rooting of apical and basal cuttings is dependent on the application of IBA, and the highest percentage of rooting was obtained in the highest concentration of IBA and ANA (5.000 mg L-1) with rooting percentages of 30, 25% and 33,33%, respectively. For the mean number of roots and root length, the best results were obtained in the concentrations of AIB and ANA (5.000 mg L-1). In this sense, there is the potential for propagation of the jabuticabeira by the cutting method.
