THE INFLUENCE OF STEM CUTTING LENGTH AND IBA TREATMENTS ON PROPAGATION OF NATIVE SAUDI ARABIAN GRAPEVINE
2005
B Hamooh
The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Agriculture experimental station at Al-Maddina Al-Monwarah region, identified very few plantations of the most productive Vitis vinifera var. maddini with the highest fruit quality. This research was designed to optimize rooting effeciency in relation to cutting length and auxin treatment. Cutting length (long vs short) showed strong impact on rooting ability. Results showed that longer cuttings produce more and longer roots than shorter ones. IBA treatments up to the 500 ppm level showed significant increase in root number, but do not have significant impact on root length. Rooted cuttings were planted in an open field for further evaluations. These findings may facilitate the clonal propagation of this val-uable vines at Al-Maddina Al-Monwarah region, grapevine growers and Horticultur-ists in Saudi Arabia .
