Macro-propagation of Bambusa vulgaris var. striata Lodd. ex Lindl. by culm branch cuttings.

摘要

Attempts were conducted in Dehra Dun, India, to propagate Bambusa vulgaris var. striata through culm branch cuttings using various growth promoting substances. After 10-15 days of planting, there was bud burst and elongation of buds in all treatments. After 50-60 days of planting profuse rooting and sprouting was achieved. The best response in terms of survival (80%), rooting (75%) and sprouting (80%) was recorded in 100 ppm IBA. With regards to length of roots, maximum length (2.8 cm) was achieved in 100 ppm IBA + boric acid, while the maximum length of sprouts (9.6 cm) were seen in 100 ppm IBA.
