Abstract

Chrysanthemum is an herbaceous perennial flowering plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family, extensively grown all over the world. Hence, an experiment was carried out to assess the response of rooting hormone on the rooting and shooting capacity of chrysanthemum cuttings under different growing media at Tehrathum, Nepal during the year 2024. Further, the experiment was carried out in a Completely Randomized Design, with two factorial designs: rooting hormone and rooting media. As a consequence, a significance difference was observed in the rooting and shooting capacity of chrysanthemum cuttings in which rooting hormone, IBA with the concentration of 400ppm showed the best result, now that it was observed with the maximum number of roots in 29DAP (11.51), maximum length of roots (2.73cm) in 29DAP, higher leaf number (1.81) in 15 DAP, maximum leaf length (2.35cm) in 29 DAP. In like manner media composition of Soil, Sand, and Cocopeat in the ratio of 1:1:1 was observed with maximum root length (2.23cm) at 29DAP. Therefore, this study concludes that IBA as rooting hormone and the composition of Soil, Sand, and Cocopeat as media proved to be the best combination for the success of terminal Chrysanthemum cutting.
