Abstract
Ficus Amstel King plant (Ficus amstel cv. King) is one of the indoor ornamental plants. As a result, its production using chemical compounds effective on rooting in a shorter time and with better quality is very important from a commercial point of view. For this purpose, during an experiment, the effect of different concentrations of some chemical compounds such as indole acetic acid, thiamine, glucose and zinc sulfate on the rooting of Ficus Amstel King in the form of a completely randomized design for the four categories of treatments mentioned in the propagation greenhouse of Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.
the propagation of Ficus Amstel King plant, semi-woody stem cuttings of this plant. in Different levels of four treatments were placed for 24 hours. 4 treatments including hormone indole acetic acid, thiamine, glucose and zinc sulfate were used in this experiment, then in the form of a completely randomized design with three repetitions and each repetition including 7 semi-woody stem cuttings were cultivated in a substrate with a mixture of cocopeat and perlite.
Among the investigated treatments, in general, the best and highest quantity and quality of rooting were obtained at concentrations of 100 and 200 parts per million of indole acetic acid hormone. Also, the separate examination of other treatments shows that 100 mg/l thiamine, 5% glucose and 4 mg/l zinc sulfate had a more effective role in the rooting of Ficus Amstel King than other concentrations.
