| Abstract:
One year old shoots of guava cv. ‘Lucknow-49’ were treated on ringed surface of shoots with IBA concentration (ppm) of 3000, 4000, 5000 and 6000 along with organic media i.e. poultry manure, vermi compost and farm yard manure. Air layering of guava with IBA concentration of 6000 ppm with soil : sand : poultry manure rooting media produced maximum percentage (76.75%) of survival of 60-days-old-plants grown in poly bags. This combination of IBA with rooting media helped in producing maximum number of primary roots (18.57), secondary roots (23.91), leaves on 60 days (14.36) and length of shoots on 60 days (5.31 cm). IBA 5000 ppm and poultry manure combination was found to be second best for survival of air layering (73.25%). | |
