The effects of some plant growing regulators on the rooting of capers (Capparis spinosa L)

Abstract

The study was carried out in the greenhouse of the Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ankara, in 1994. The experiment was conducted in split-plots design in randomised plots with four replications. Cuttings were treated with various concentrations of IBA; IAA and NAA at different periods to induce rooting. The best rootings, 28 % and 29 %, were achieved by treatment of the cuttings with 500 ppm IAA in April and 250 ppm IBA in May for 12h.
