Effect of Growth Regulators on Stem Cuttings of Jatropha Species

Authors(1) :-Rajesh Shrirangrao Gaikwad

The study was conducted to assess effect of growth regulators on stem cuttings of Jatropha species the Vegetative propagation through Stem cuttings of Jatropha curcas and J. gossypifolia were treated with different combinations of auxins (IAA+NAA and IBA+NAA) along with distilled water (control). Stem cuttings of J. curcas IBA+NAA at 100 ppm was proved significantly effective for percent rooting. Similarly observations for J. gossypifolia showed highest rooting percentage for IAA+NAA at 200 ppm with maximum leaves per cuttings.
