Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of various levels of concentration on the growth performance of Red Nato (Palaquium luzoniense), utilizing a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The study used 120 Red Nato cuttings with varying concentrations of ANAA hormone (0, 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, and 3000 ppm). Each treatment comprising of ten cuttings was replicated three times. Over a two-month monitoring period, growth parameters, such as number of roots, length of roots and number of leaves were assessed. Results revealed that Treatment 0 (control) exhibited the highest root number and length with Pr (> F) values of 0.2733 and 0.7845, respectively, while Treatment 1 (1000 ppm) showed the highest leaf count Pr (> F) value of 0.8809. The study concluded that there is no significant difference among the treatment levels. Hence, it was suggested to prolong the observation period of the study to three (3) to six (6) months. Moreover, it was suggested to use a concentration of 1000 ppm of Alpha Naphthalene Acetic Acid in order to achieve better results in terms of the number of leaves.
