Abstract

An experiment was conducted during 2014–15 at the Research Orchard of Horticulture, College of Agriculture Gwalior to study the interaction effect of different rooting media and hormone concentrations on growth, success and survivability of air layers in guava. Results revealed that maximum length of primary and secondary root (4.34 cm), (2.18cm) and diameter of primary and secondary root (2.65 mm), (2.04mm) and dry weight and callus formation (1.16 mg), (7.26 mm), respectively. The number of new sprouts, success of rooting and air layer per cent (6.18), (91.84) and (83.84) was recorded with treatment combination of soil +coco peat +leaf mould) with IBA 15, 000 ppm.
