Efffct of Stik and Ga, on Vegetative Propagation in Stem-cuttings of <I>Vitex nigundo</I> Linn. during Winter

Abstract

Various concentrations of Stik (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0,2.0 mgml^-1) initiated higher percentage of rooting as well as sprouting of nodes, but only less subsequent shoot growth in the stem cuttings of Vitex nigundo. Similar concentrations of GA₃ have hardly shown any rooting initiation, but also lower sprouting percentage, although, it exhibited greater subsequent shoot growth than that of Stik. Stik at 0.5 and 1.0 mgml^-1 level have given maximum percentage of moisture content of the roots, with 100% rooting response in cuttings.
