Abstract:

A complete randomized block design was used to carry out a comparative experiment of hard branch cuttings in 17 introduced fig varieties. At the same time,the effects of cutting length and diameter,indole butyric acid(IBA)mass concentration and temperature on the rooting of hard branch cuttings were carried out. The result showed that there were significant(p<0.05)differences in the rooting rate of hard branch cuttings among the 17 fig cultivars,among which 187,Zaohuang,Anzi and Bojihong had the best rooting rate,with rooting rates ranging from 81.0% to 84.3%. Meanwhile,the length and diameter of cuttings significantly influenced the survival rate of Bojihong cuttings. Cuttings with a length of 10-13 cm exhibited the highest rooting rate of 54.5%,while those with a diameter of >1.5-2.0 cm showed the highest rooting rate of 72.4%. Additionally,fig plants treated with 200 mg·L-1 IBA exhibited the highest rooting rate,reaching 80.0%. The cutting effect of Bojihong showed significant differences under varying temperatures,with the rooting rate of 84.9% at 25 °C. In summary,during practical cutting propagation,the cutting effect can be improved by selecting suitable varieties,optimizing cutting specifications,applying appropriate mass concentrations of auxin treatments,and controlling temperature.
