Ficus nitida L . THE EFFECT SUN LIGHT INTENSITY AND CUTTING TYPE IN ROOTING ABILITY
Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the effect of cutting type and sun light exposure. Terminal middle and basal cuttings were taken from upwar dowrward shoots. Based on results obtained , the medial cuttings and sun light exposure significantly exceeded by increasing rooting percentage(3.67 , 3.33)% roots length (12.77, 11.2) cm, chlorophyll percentage (22.7, 23.7)% ,leaves number (7.11, 6.92) leaf/plant and shoots number (2.77 , 2.47 )shot/plant , respectively Moreover , the interaction between medial cutting and sunlight exposure significantly increased rooting and vegetative growth characteristics.
