A Half-yearly Peer Reviewed Journal of Bangladesh Forest Research Institute
This paper deals with the effect of two growth hormones, IAA and IBA in the rooting response of stem cuttings, rooting of branches by air layering through the application of Seradix B-3, and bud and cleft graftings of six species in different months. It was found that rooting occurred in four species with hormone applications to stem cuttings ; of these, three species rooted throughout the year. In air layering, four species roofed only in August-September. Bud grafting were successful in all the species. Bud propagation in April-May was the most successful. Fair results
were also obtained from budding in November-December. Cleft grafting did not show much response in any of these species.
