Effect of Different Concentrations of IBA and Time of Taking Cutting on Propagation of Black and White Myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) Cuttings

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different time taking cutting and IBA concentrations on rooting Myrtus communis L. White black myrtle types were used as plant materials. The cuttings obtained from Batı Akdeniz Agricultural Research Institute (BATEM) collection garden. effects 0 (control), 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 8000 mg L-1 doses applications (February, March, April May) investigated. highest percentage (76.67%) in was taken applied 1000 IBA, while lowest (10.00%) 500 May. rooted at a lower rate than myrtle. It determined that (43.33%), shooting rooted-shooted rates (43.33%) average root number (1.63 pcs) white dose April. In addition, showed best IBA. Based results, it can be concluded propagation concentration had impact success rooting.
