Influence of alpha naphthalene acetic acid (ANAA) on rooting and growth of Mulberry (Morus alba L.) cuttings
Abstract
The study determined the influence of varying concentrations of ANAA (1500 ppm, 2000 ppm, 2500 ppm) on the rooting of stem cuttings and growth of four (4) mulberry varieties: Alf 23, Alf 47, Alf 55, and Alfonso. Ten cuttings of each variety soaked in distilled water (control) and three concentrations of ANAA were incubated and planted in polyethylene plastic bags. Data gathering was done 90 days after planting. All data were statistically analyzed. The varieties varied significantly based on the length of root and shoot, and root-to- shoot ratio in length. The different concentrations of ANAA also varied significantly on the fresh weight of root and shoot, and length of root. On the interaction effect of variety and concentration of ANAA, only the root-to-shoot ratio in weight was affected. Alf 55 produced the longest shoot (76.01 cm) while Alfonso produced the longest root (28.30 cm) and recorded the highest root-to-shoot ratio in length (0.41). Cuttings soaked in 2000ppm ANAA were the heaviest (8.61 g) and with the longest root (28.0 cm). Cuttings soaked in 2500 ppm produced the heaviest shoot. Cuttings of Alf 47 soaked in 2000 ppm ANAA recorded the highest root-to-shoot ratio in weight (0.22 g). The 2000 ppm concentration of ANAA enhanced the rooting of mulberry cuttings, and thus could be used in massive sapling production, particularly of low-rooting but high-yielding varieties.
