Orchids are one of the most favorite cut flowers, flowering potted plants, and have developed into a highly profitable industry. The development of acclimatization method is a necessity for the high survival rate of plantlets. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentration on faster root formation of Dendrobium hybrid planted on coco- husk and charcoal in a short time. Plantlets derived from the seed culture of Dendrodium milla nayla x Dendrobium striaenopsis were harvested and pre-acclimated, planted on charcoal or coco-husk, and regularly sprayed with 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.0 mg/L IBA twice a week for one month. The results showed that IBA at 0.50 mg/L provided the most appropriate concentration for immediate root induction and growth of Dendrobium hybrid planted on coco-husk. Root number (1.75) and root length (0.28 cm) showed the highest and the most important indicator of adventitious root induction
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
