Determination of rooting performances in different IBA doses and of pomological characteristics of Salakhani and Zivzik pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) varieties.

Abstract

In this study, the morphological, pomological characteristics and rooting conditions of Salakhani, local variety of Iraq and Zivzik (Punica granatum L.), local variety of Siirt, were compared.For this purpose, the effect of different doses of indole butyric acid (IBA) (0.00, 1000, 2000, 4000, 6000 mg / L) on rooting was examined. Cuttings were kept in the rooting environment for five months and rooting rates, root number, root lengths, survival rates, shoot lengths, shoot and leaf number were determined.Salakhani cultivars were found to be the best cultivar only in terms of the root length, sprout length, shoot numberand leaf number. Zivzik cultivars were found to be the best cultivar in terms of the other properties. The hormone dose of 4000 ppm was found to be the best hormone dose in terms of the shoot number, leaf number and root length. The hormone dose of6000 ppm was found to be the best hormone dose in terms of survival rates and rooting rates. The hormone dose of 1000 ppm was found to be the best dose among the doses of hormone only in terms of root number.
