“…Auxins plays an important role in rooting and IBA promotes root development via promoting cell enlargement by affecting the synthesis of enzymes (Damar et al, 2014). However, the results of the present study are opposing to the idea that, pomegranate cuttings require auxins for initiations of rooting and sprouting (Singh, 2017); suggesting that correct time of collection of cuttings and correct length (mainly shorter lengths, average: 10 cm) provide high efficacy in rooting and sprouting without needing any rooting hormone.…”

Scientific confirmation of the traditionally known health benefits of pomegranates caused a tremendous increase in the consumption and production of this highly valuable fruit tree. Reproduction of pomegranate plants with seeds shows great variability in tree vigour and fruit quality. Cuttings is one of the most successful and preferred methods for the propagation of pomegranates. It is easy, quick, economic and most the convenient method of obtaining true-to-type trees in considerably less time; however, it has a high rate of mortality. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effects of cutting length, collection time of cuttings and rooting media on the sprouting of dormant semihardwood cuttings collected from pomegranate cv. Wonderful. Studies conducted with the completely randomized block design with four replications, each replication containing 25 individual cuttings. According to the results, the highest sprouting percentage obtained from the 10 cm cuttings collected 43±3 days before sprouting (DBS) and grown in soil with 98%. Results showed that the sprouting percentage is higher at the shorter cuttings. It was also concluded from the results that, as time pass, the sprouting percentage of the cuttings decrease, and is important to collect cuttings about 40 days before sprouting. The growing media was found to significantly affect the sprouting percentage and soil was found to be better than perlite media.

“…Suitability of January month for pomegranate cutting emphasized by various workers that might be due to the higher accumulation of carbohydrates in January plantings as it succeeded dormant season and soon followed by a congenial climatic conditions for sprouting of the buds (Navjot and Kahlon 2007).In some cases low sprouting of buds in July planting might have due to higher temperature that adversely affected the sprouting of the buds. These variations may also occur due to species or locality differences (Singh, 2017).…”

Pomegranate can be propagated by seed, air layering, grafting, shoot cuttings and tissue culture. Seed propagation is used to raise the rootstocks that can be utilized for germplasm conservation and rootstocks breeding purpose. Vegetative propagation methods are used to multiply selected genotypes that bring similar character in form of clones having similar characters to mother plant. Vegetative propagation techniques (hard wood cutting, layering) are practices to raise the saplings for commercial production in pomegranate, because it perpetuates all characteristics of each cultivar. There are various propagation techniques are available, and the refinement of those techniques are also been done in large. However, recent time the suitable propagation method especially grafting and tissue culture techniques could be useful to utilise the resistant root stocks and multiply resistant in the sapling. Although there is diversity in propagation methods and new technologies are also being experimented. Moreover, obtaining healthy and quality seedlings is still one of the main constants for commercial pomegranate growers. Use of resistant cultivars and pathogen-free substrates should be prioritized due to susceptibility of pomegranate to wilt and nematodes. Therefore, the aim of this review is to gather the data referring to advances in researchin different propagation methods that can be used to propagate pomegranate and summarize the progress obtained in recent years.

“…Hardwood and semi-hardwood cuttings have high rooting capacity, so they are mainly used for commercial propagation. Singh (2017) reported that the rooting capacity of cuttings varies among different varieties and from place to place. It also depends on the season of planting and the age of the branch that is selected for cuttings making.…”

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an important commercial horticultural crop. The cultivation of this crop is increasing day by day. Mainly due to its survival nature, particularly in dry or less water available areas. Its propagation is possible by using seed but vegetative propagation methods are very popular. Even commercial propagation of pomegranate is done by cuttings. To fulfill the rising demand for high-quality plant material, easy, fast, reliable, economical multiplications are required, and under such circumstances, cuttings are the best-suited material. This method of propagation can further be improved by the use of optimum growing media and application of various plant growth regulators Indole Butyric acid and its derivations. Moreover, the success of propagation depends on prevailing weather conditions and the time of planting. Perlite + vermiculite and a combination of vermiculite + coco peat in equal proportions, quick dip application of 2500 ppm IBA, and planting in the spring season are considered ideal for fast and economical multiplication of pomegranate cuttings. Humid weather conditions during the spring season exhibit a good possibility of rooting and survival of the same. Therefore, the main aim of this review article is to collect/compile the information regarding the effect of growing media and applications of IBA under different weather regimes over previous years along with recent happenings.
