Regeneration of Kagzi lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) through stem cut tings with the aid of IBA and PHB

Maximum percentage of cuttings sprouted (24.33%) and maximum number of roots per cutting (7.67) were recorded with treatment IBA 2000 ppm+PHB 1000 ppm. The treatment with PHB 1000 ppm recorded minimum percentage of sprouting (8.83 %). Maximum number of sprouts per cutting (7.67) was observed with T7 and its minimum number (2.67) was noted under control. The length and diameter of primary root (9.33 cm and 2.80 mm) were also noted maximum under 2000 ppm IBA + 1000 PHB. The diameter of sprout (3.53 mm) and the size of leaves in terms of their length and width (5.67 cm, and 3.83 cm, respectively) was maximum with IBA 1500 ppm + PHB 1000 ppm. The maximum dry matter accumulation in the roots (132.33 mg) was with IBA 2000 ppm whereas, the cutting treated with IBA 2000 ppm + PHB 1000 ppm ex pressed the highest survival (77.00%) of rooted cuttings
