Title: Responses of IBA on rooting, biomass production and survival of branch cuttings of Santalum album L., a wild threatened tropical medicinal tree species
Abstract: Clonal propagation is important for the conservation of native, wild and threatening tree species. The study investigates the opportunities of rooting of branch cuttings of Santalum album treated with 0, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8% indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) in a non-mist propagator. A total of four hundreds eighty cuttings were used to assess the rooting ability of this species. The study revealed significant differences (p<0.05) of rooting percent, average root number per cutting and average root length among the treatments. Rooting success varied 1.32-fold (70-92.6%), 3.8-fold (5-19) and 3.1-fold (3.1-9.6 cm) in rooting percentage, average root number per cutting and average root length respectively among the treatments. The maximum and minimum rooting success were observed in T3 and T0 in all cases except in root number per cutting. In this case T2 performed better than others. The result exposed significant differences (p<0.05) of sprouting percent (1.32-fold: 62.3 - 83.3%) among the treatments but no significant difference (p>0.05) of number of sprouts per cutting (2.5-fold: 2-5) and number of leaves per cutting (1.7-fold: 10-17). Maximum and minimum sprouting percent was showed similar fashion of rooting percent. The results also exposed significant differences (p<0.05) of biomass production in adventitious roots and shoots among the treatments. Biomass production was significantly (p<0.01) higher in adventitious shoots than those of roots. The overall survival of rooted cutting was higher in control (90.56%) than others but showed no significant differences (p>0.05) among the treatments. It can be recommended not to use IBA for rooting of branch cuttings of S. album.
