Studies On Performance Of Stem Cutting Under Different Growing Conditions As Affected By Zinc Application On Guava Plants

Abstract

Propagation of guava through stem cuttings is effective but influenced by nutrient newlineavailability and rooting hormones. Zinc, a crucial micronutrient, impacts plant newlinegrowth, enzyme activation, and cell division. Stem cuttings often need rooting newlinehormones like IBA and IAA for successful rooting, which can be challenging to apply newlineand potentially toxic if misused. This study investigates the impact of different zinc newlineapplication methods and concentrations on guava stem cuttings, focusing on rooting newlineefficiency. newline
