Abstract

In this study, the effect of different rooting mediums (peat moss, peat + sand, peat + loam) and IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) concentration was investigated on hardwood cuttings taken from Bougainvillea glabra, Bougainvillea spectabilis, and Bougainvillea x buttiana species. The cuttings were treated with 0, 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg/l IBA. Statistical evaluation was performed according to a randomized block experimental design with three factors and three repetitions. The results showed that Bougainvillea x buttiana cuttings had the highest number of roots, root fresh weight, longest shoot length, and shoot fresh weight. Cuttings grown in 100% peat medium had the highest rooting percentage, root number, root dry weight, leaf number, and shoot fresh weight. Regarding IBA concentrations, the cuttings treated with 3000 ppm IBA had the highest number of roots, root length, and root fresh weight. Furthermore, in all of the Bougainvillea species, the highest rooting percentage and leaf number were observed in cuttings treated with 2000 ppm IBA. Notably, Bougainvillea x buttiana cuttings treated with 1000 ppm IBA dose and planted in peat medium provided the longest shoot length, highest shoot fresh weight, and shoot dry weight. In conclusion, the findings show that the growing medium has a statistically significant effect on the rooting and root quality of cuttings and that it would be useful to investigate various rooting hormones, dasages and rooting media to increase rooting and shoot development. Considering growing medium plays a crucial role in plant growth, it can be stated that further improvements in rooting and growth can be realized via utilizing the enhanced physical and chemical properties of peat-based mixtures.

Begonvil (Bougainvillea spp.) Çeliklerinin Köklenme ve Sürgün Gelişimi Üzerine, Köklendirme Ortamı ve IBA Konsantrasyonunun Etkilerinin Araştırılması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Bougainvillea glabra, Bougainvillea spectabilis ve Bougainvillea x buttiana türlerine ait sert odun çelikleri için farklı köklendirme ortamlarının (turba yosunu, turba yosunu + tın (1:1), turba + kum (1:1)) ve IBA (indol-3-bütirik asit) konsantrasyonunun etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çeliklere 0, 1000, 2000 ve 3000 mg/l seviyelerinde IBA uygulanmıştır. İstatistiksel değerlendirme, tesadüf bloklarında üç faktörlü ve üç tekrarlı, deney olarak tasarlanmıştır. Sonuçlar, Bougainvillea x buttiana çeliklerinin en fazla kök sayısına, kök taze ağırlığına, en uzun sürgün uzunluğuna ve sürgün taze ağırlığına sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Yalnızca turba yosunu ortamında yetiştirilen çeliklerde en yüksek köklenme yüzdesine, kök sayısına, kök kuru ağırlığına, yaprak sayısına ve sürgün taze ağırlığına ulaşıldığı belirlenmiştir. IBA konsantrasyonlarının etkisine bakıldığında, 3000 ppm IBA uygulanan çeliklerin en yüksek kök sayısına, kök uzunluğuna ve kök taze ağırlığına sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca Begonvil türlerinin tamamında en yüksek köklenme yüzdesi ve yaprak sayısının 2000 ppm IBA uygulanan çeliklerden sağlandığı görülmüştür. Özellikle, 1000 ppm IBA dozu ile muamele edilen ve yalnızca turba yosunu bulunan ortamına dikilen Bougainvillea x buttiana çeliklerinden en uzun sürgün uzunluğu, en yüksek sürgün taze ağırlığı ve sürgün kuru ağırlığı sağlanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, bulguların genel değerlendirmesi, yetiştirme ortamının çeliklerde köklenme yeteneği ve kök kalitesi üzerinde istatistiksel olarak önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ve köklenme ve sürgün gelişimini arttırmak için çeşitli köklendirme hormonlarının, dozlarının ve köklendirme ortamlarının araştırılmasının faydalı olacağını göstermektedir. Yetiştirme ortamının bitki büyümesinde çok önemli bir rol oynadığı göz önüne alındığında, turba yosunu bazlı karışımların gelişmiş fiziksel ve kimyasal özelliklerden yararlanılarak köklenme ve büyümede daha fazla olumlu sonuç alınabileceği söylenebilir.
