The present experiment was conducted to study the response of IBA on pear rootstocks Quince-C and BA-29 with respect to rhizogenic capacity and shoot characteristics. The finding of experiment shows that IBA application had significant effect on these clonal rootstocks of pear. IBA application @ 1000 ppm resulted in maximum rooting and root growth. The IBA treatment @ 1000 ppm was also found to be the best in terms of all shoot characteristic parameters. Higher concentrations of IBA above 1000 ppm were found detrimental.
The IBA treatment @ 1000 ppm resulted in maximum rooting and root growth of pear.
