Effects of different cutting times and IBA doses on the rooting rate of hardwood cuttings of cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.).

This research was carried out to investigate the effects of IBA doses and cutting timings on rooting of hardwood cuttings of some cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) types. Hardwood cuttings were collected on 28.01.1996 and 28.02.1996 and treated with IBA at 2000,4000 and 6000 ppm. The rooting rate, viability rate, callused cutting rate, root number, root length, root diameter and root quality were determined. The highest rate of rooting was obtained from cuttings collected in january. In this study, 6000 ppm IBA application gave the best result for rooting hardwood cuttings of cornelian cherry.
