Abstract

Root initiation in cuttings of Eucalyptus nitens(Deane & Maiden) Maiden. was stimulated by application of auxin dips in theform of 20 mg/l solution administered for 48 h. Thegreatest stimulation of rooting was obtained when auxin was applied to thecuttings at least four weeks after the cuttings were first collected and set ona mist-bed.
