Abstract

Rooting trails of branch cuttings of satian (Alstonia scholaris Br.), burma simul (Ceiba pentandra L. Gaertn) and gamar (Gmelina arb orea Linn.) were conducted. Results showed that in satian, IBA has a positive effect on early rooting and an increase in IBA concentration enhanced the percentage of rooting success, number of root per cutting and root length. In burma simul, the highest rooting success was found in the control cuttings, IBA did not show any positive effect on rooting success, root number and root length. In gamar, increase in size and diameter of branch cuttings had a good relation to rooting success, number of root format ion and root length.
