Effect of Growth Promoter Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) on Leaves Sprout and Rooting of Acacia Senegal Cuttings
Abstract
Some studies have revealed the effectiveness of growth promoters in enhancing root formation in cuttings. However, using these growth promoters in trials, reproducible result is not easily achieved. Examples are presented from the literature; these relate to the effects of hormone concentration, application methods, comparative effectiveness of different synthetic growth hormones and their applications at different times of the year. The effect of growth promoter indole acetic acid (IAA) on leaves sprout and rooting of Acacia senegal cuttings was investigated in a practical experiment involving the use of different doses of IAA i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5ppm. The different doses were compared with separate control experiment which did not received any treatment. Growth protagonist such as number of leaves were observed at weekly interval for a period of six weeks, after that data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance of which the statistical difference between the leaf numbers were determined. The result shows that, number of leaves sprout increases with increase dose of IAA on cuttings which shows that IAA has enhance sprouting in Acacia senegal cuttings. However, rooting was not established possibly due to low dose of IAA used.
