| Description |
The present investigation on “Effect of different rooting media and foliar response of zinc sulphate on survival and success of air layers in kagzi lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle)” was carried out at Fruit Research Station, Imalia, Department of Horticulture, JNKVV, Jabalpur during the August 2013 to February 2014. The experiment was conducted to see the effect of rooting media and foliar response of ZnSo4 on growth, survivability and their combined effect on kagzi lime air layers. The treatments consist of sixteen rooting media combinations in which eight treatments were without foliar spray of ZnSo4 and eight treatments were with foliar spray of ZnSo4. Thus, eight rooting media and twice foliar spray of zinc sulphate @ 0.2% were applied at the time of branching initiation and before flowering stage at 30 days interval on 60 and 90 days after layering, respectively. These were replicated thrice in the Randomized Block Design. The data of final observations of root, growth and physiological characters were statistically analyzed. The salient findings of the present investigation are summarized below: The study was under taken with the objectives to find out the most suitable rooting media for rooting and survival of air layers of kagzi lime, to study the growth of roots and shoots in different rooting media and their combinations and to study the foliar response of zinc sulphate on growth parameters. The analysis of variance showed significant differences among all characters studied under different treatments. Among the rooting media T15 (Soil + River silt + FYM + Vermi compost + Zinc sulphate 0.2%) was over all the significantly influenced by rooting media and foliar response of 0.2% Zinc sulphate on survival and success of air layers in kagzi lime at 150 days after layering followed by T7 (Soil + River silt + FYM + Vermi compost). While the minimum in treatment T1 (Soil) over rest of other treatments. The maximum rooting percentage, number of primary and secondary roots, length of primary roots and diameter of primary roots. Growth and physiological parameters are also found maximum in same treatments. It was best proved in most of the characters like rooting, growth and success of air layers of kagzi lime statistically compared to other without concentrations of zinc sulphate. The different rooting media like sphagnum moss, vermi compost and FYM etc. may be tested for the better initiation of rooting and survival percentage of air layers in kagzi lime in climatic conditions of Jabalpur region and a study should be also conducted on concentration and interval of zinc sulphate on air layers of kagzi lime. |
