abstract
The present study was conducted to Effect of IBA Concentration and Time of Planting on Rooting in Pomegranate (Punica granatum) Cuttings during the Winter season 2016-17.The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replication. Treatments main factor (25^th December, 10^th January and 25^th January) and three sub factors (500ppm, 1000ppm and control). Results of the investigation showed that highest number of sprouted cuttings (7.11), number of sprouts per cutting (4.00), number of leaves on new shoots (10.89), percentage of rooted cuttings (71.11%) was recorded under T₃ (January 25^th) planting time. In case of IBA concentration, highest number of sprouted cuttings (7.33), number of sprouts per cutting (4.66), length of longest sprout (7.28 cm), number of leaves on new shoots (10.66) and percentage of rooted cuttings (73.33%) was observed under C₁ (500ppm IBA) treatment.
