Response of phalsa (Grewia subinaequalis DC) cuttings to biofertilizers and rooting media

摘要

The phalsa being a hardy fruit can be grown successfully even in inferior marginal and wastelands. It is generally propagated from seeds but plants raised so do not produce fruits of uniform quality and are often sub standards, It can also be propagated through cuttings but success is very less. The success in rooting of the stem cuttings depends upon different factors, such as condition of mother plants, part of the tree from where the cuttings are made, time of planting, rainfall, temperature, humidity, care while planting and aftercare. Besides these factors, rooting media and plant growth regulators also play an important role in rooting, growth and success of cuttings.
