Effect of MS salt concentration and IBA on in vitro root induction
Rooting media | IBA (mg/l) | Number of roots | Root length (cm) |
---|---|---|---|
½ MS media | 0.2 | 1.75 ± 0.25a | 1.85 ± 0.09a |
0.5 | 3.25 ± 0.25b | 1.87 ± 0.11a | |
1.0 | 6.00 ± 0.40c | 2.20 ± 0.18a | |
¼ MS media | 0.2 | 2.75 ± 0.25ab | 2.12 ± 0.11a |
0.5 | 6.25 ± 0.85c | 2.80 ± 0.18b | |
1.0 | 11.00 ± 0.40d | 4.62 ± 0.19c |
Parameters have been recorded after 4 weeks of transfer in rooting media. Data are in the form of mean ± SEM, and means followed by the same letter within the columns are not significantly different (P = 0.05) using Duncan’s multiple range test
