Abstract

The effects of overnight dipping of Ficus benj8min8 L • Starlight' cuttings in ISA, IAA, NAA and their mixtures at 0.0, 25,50 and 100 ppm on percentage of rooted cuttings, some roots and aerial part parameters, pigment contents as well as soluble and Insoluble sugars In the leaves were studied during 1999 and 2000 seasons. Results showed that using a mixture from ISA, IAA and NAA was very effective in improving rooted cuttings %, number of roots, length of root, plant height, number of shoots, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh and dry weights of roots and shoots as well as leaf total carbohydrates %, leaf N%, C/N ratio, chlorophyll a and b, total chlorophylls, carotenoid content and soluble and insoluble sugars in the leaves compared to using each singly. Increasing auxin concentrations from 25 to 100 ppm caused a gradual promotion on such root and shoot parameters as well as chemical constituents. In Ficus benj8mina • Starlight • rooting ability of cuttings was greatly favoured by dipping in a mixture of ISA, IAA and NAA at 50 ppm for overnight.
