| Abstract | ||
| The present investigation was carried out to determine the optimal concentration of Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) for fig (Brown Turkey cv.) cuttings under two planting media (Peatmoss, and clay soil). The hardwood cuttings were collected from one-year-age branches during January 2023. Fig cuttings were treated with different concentrations of IBA (0, 500 mg/l, 1000 mg/l, 1500 mg/l, and 2000 mg/l). The results of the current investigation indicated that the treatment of IBA 2000 mg/l induced the maximum value of cutting success (93.6%, and 83.5%), root length (18.37 cm, and 14.75 cm) number of roots (33.13, and 27.73), branches length (24.3 cm, and 20.01 cm), leaves number (22.47, and 19.33), fresh weight of leaves (22.23 g, and 19.67g) and dry weight of leaves (4.8 g, and 4.52g), in peatmoss and clay soil as growing media, respectively. Results concluded that Fig cuttings pre-treated with 2000 mg/l IBA for five seconds, and using peatmoss as growing media gave the best values and seedling characters vegetative propagation of fig cuttings. | ||
