Abstract EN
The study was conducted at the Collage of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Sulaimani, Kurdistan Region-Iraq so as to investigate response hardwood cuttings of Callistemon viminalis to some plant extracts.
The hardwood cuttings were taken on 11 March 2021 and soaked separately in 3 and 6 g/L aqueous extracts of moringa leaf, licorice root, willow shoot, fenugreek seed and cinnamon bark for 1 hour.
They were compared to the cuttings dipped in 3000 ppm IBA for 10s and control cuttings which were soaked in distilled water for 1 hour.
The experiment laid out in CRD with three replications in a greenhouse, and each replication included six cuttings which planted in a mixture of sand and rice husk medium.
After 4 months, the measurements were taken and analyzed by using XLSTAT computer software in one-way ANOVA, and 5% Dancun's multiple range was used for comparison.
The results showed that the highest (86.66% ) rooting was achieved in the cuttings treated with 6 g/L licorice extract and they were significantly different with control cuttings (53.33% ), but they were not significantly different with 3000 ppm IBA (66.66% ).
Cinnamon 3g/L and fenugreek 3g/L extracts gave the lowest (6.66% and 33.33% , respectively) rooting and other studied parameters.
The cuttings dipped in 3000 ppm IBA gave the highest (18.91) root number and the highest (66.66% ) survival cuttings after transplanting.
The longest root (15.54 cm) was found in cuttings were treated with 6 g/L moringa extract.
The longest (5.83 cm) shoot was observed in treated cuttings with 3 g/L willow extract.
The highest chlorophyll a and b (10.08 and 4.62 mg/L, respectively) were observed in cuttings treated with 6 g/L willow extract.
Moreover, 3000 ppm IBA gave the highest (20.23% ) total carbohydrate and (1.77 mg/g) IAA content along with 6 g/L licorice, moringa and fenugreek extracts, after 30 days from planting of the cuttings.
Licorice root extract at 6 g/L fairly improved the measurements similar to 3000 ppm IBA throughout the study.
