Sprouting and Rooting Response of <I>Dalbergia sissoo</I> Stem Cuttings Collected from Different Altitudes

Abstract

The results of present investigation significantly differ (p<0.05) from different sources. The branch cuttings of Dalbergia sissoo were collected from higher elevation populations exhibited higher per cent of rooting as well as other growth parameters. On average there was 25.00 per cent rooting with maximum (45.0%) rooting recorded in the cuttings from Lachhiwala, Najibabad and Fathepur source. The rooting and growth behaviour significantly (p<0.05) positively correlated with source of cutting.
