Abstract
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of rooting media (vermiculite, carbonized rice bark, fenolic spume and sand), presence of IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) and presence of fertilization during the rooting of rose (Rosa sp.) leafy cuttings, Dalas cultivar.
This investigation was carried out in Jaboticabal (São Paulo State – Brazil) during the period of March to April 1997. The experimental design was a randomized block in a factorial arrangement.
It consisted of 16 treatments (the 4 rooting media combined with IBA concentrated solutions – 0 and 1.000 ppm and fertilizer – 0 and commercial product with macro and micronutrients, applied weekly) with 3 replicates.
The evaluations were 30 days after cuttings showed that the best rooting percentage occurs in sand (98%), followed by vermiculite (90%) and fenolic spume (87%) and cuttings treated with IBA (95%), while the fertilization showed no promoting effects.
The number of cuttings roots wasn’t affected with rooting media or IBA treatment, while the fertilization showed effective.
