Effect of rooting media and IBA treatments on root production and survival of terminal cuttings in guava (Psidium guajava) cv. Taiwan pink under mist house

The effect of Rooting media, Indole-3-Butyric Acid treatments as well as their interactions was found significant on the root and survival percentage parameters in guava terminal cuttings. Among the three different Rooting media i.e., coco peat, vermiculite and saw dust, coco peat registered highest values regarding percentage of rooted cuttings, number of roots per cutting, length of longest root per cutting, fresh weight of roots, dry weight of roots and survival percentage of rooted cuttings of terminal cuttings in guava cv. Taiwan Pink. Among IBA treatments i.e., 250, 500, 750 ppm in solution form for 5 minutes and 1500, 3000, 6000 ppm in powder form, 3000 ppm of IBA performed the best.
