Effect of Sphagnum spp. as Substrate media on Rooting response of Cinnamomum Verum Presl. (Syn. C. Zeylanicum Blume) through Air Layering

Abstract

The use of different species of Sphagnum (S. papillosum and S. khasinum) shows very prominent results when used as substrate media in rooting of spice and oil yielding plant Cinnamomum verum Presl. (Syn. C. zeylanicum) through air layering. The treatments (T2 & T6) combination with Indole Butyric acid (IBA) (2000 ppm) gave 90-100% rooting success comparison to other combinations and control.
