Influence of phytohormones on rooting cuttings of ripe blackberries (Rubus sp.)

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the effect of phytohormones indole - butyric acid (IBA) and Alpha - naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on rooting cuttings of ripe blackberries in the greenhouse in Capljina. The conclusion is a different matter phytohormones influence on rooting cuttings of mature. The highest percentage on rooting cuttings, the highest shoot length and root length of cuttings rooting registered with the cultivars were, and lowest in cultivar Darou. Rooting was recorded varieties which were treated with 3 000ppm IBA solution, then the varieties treated with 0.3% NAA, while the lowest rooting cuttings were untreated (control variant). IBA and NAA showed reasonable effect in the process of rooting cuttings of ripe blackberry, because this method with the use of phytohormones and planting in containers, achieved by reducing the time getting ready seedlings from two to one year. This opens new perspectives in this production and the seedlings can be planted at any time of year.
