Effect of cultivation date and Indole butyric acid ( IBA ) on Rooting and fig cutting growth variety ( diala black )

Abstract

This experiment was conducted at the Hindia Hor. Station / Karbala – The general company for Hort. And forestry, during the period from 25/12/2014 to 30/10/2015. To find out the effect of cultivation date ( 25/1/2015 ) and three concentrate ( 0-500-1000 ) ppm of (IBA ).Factorial experiment in (RCBD) replicated 3 times. Cultivation date (25/1/2015) significantly effect on the percentage of cutting viability branches number shoots and root length ( 91.08% , 4.59, 44.16 cm , 31.88 cm ) respectively compared to cultivation date (25/2/2015) (82.05%, 3.27, 33.12 cm , 24.67 cm ) respectively.Basbital cutting dipped in ( 1000 ) ppm ( IBA ) showed significant increase in percentage of cutting viability. Branches number, shoot and root length ( 92.16%, 5.68 , 46.71 cm , 32.38 cm ) respectively compared to ( 0 ) IBA ( 80.27% , 2.39 , 28.73 cm , 25.15 cm ) respectively.The result also showed a significant increased in Interaction treatments ( 25/1/2015 ) and concentrate ( 1000 ) ppm ( IBA ) which gave significant effect on all characteristics studied
