This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different time of taking cutting and
IBA concentrations on the rooting of Myrtus communis L. White and black
myrtle types were used as plant materials. The cuttings were obtained from
Batı Akdeniz Agricultural Research Institute (BATEM) collection garden. The
effects of 0 (control), 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 mg L-1 doses of IBA
applications and time of taking cutting (February, March, April and May) on the
rooting were investigated. The highest rooting percentage (76.67%) in black
myrtle was obtained from cuttings taken in April and applied 1000 mg L-1 IBA,
while the lowest rooting (10.00%) was obtained from cuttings applied
500 mg L-1 taken in May. White myrtle was rooted at a lower rate than black
myrtle. It was determined that the highest rooting percentage (43.33%),
shooting percentage (43.33%), rooted-shooted rates (43.33%) and average
root number (1.63 pcs) in the white myrtle were 500 mg L-1 IBA dose in April.
In addition, the study showed that the best rooting of white myrtle was in the
cuttings taken in April and applied 500 mg L-1 IBA. Based on results, it can be
concluded that time of taking cuttings in propagation and different
concentration of IBA applications had a different impact on the success of
black and white myrtle rooting.
