Abstract
The invention provides a process for the induction of normal rooting on nodal and internodal stem segments without using hormones and/or other chemical treatments in Mentha species, which comprises oblique excision of shoots of Mentha species from the plants, immediately dipping the cut end of twigs or stems into water and keeping in complete dark for up to one week with by varying the temperature cycle for each set of 24 hours duration of the treatment.
Claims13
A process for the induction of normal rooting on nodal and internodal stem segments without using hormones or other chemical treatment in Mentha species, which comprises oblique excision of shoots of Mentha species from the plants, immediately dipping the cut end of twigs or stems having at least one pair of leaves into water and keeping in complete dark for up to one week with temperature cycles of a range of 11-25° C. for 11 hours and of a range of 5-10° C. for 13 hours for each set of 24 hours duration of the treatment whereby roots are formed.
A process for induction of normal rooting on nodal and internodal stem segments without using hormones or other chemical treatment in Lamiaceae, Bacopa monnieri, or Mentha species, which comprises oblique excision of shoots from the plants, immediately dipping the cut end of twigs or stems having at least one pair of leaves into water and keeping in complete dark for up to one week with temperature cycles of a range of 11-25° C. for 11 hours and a range of 5-10° C. for 13 hours for each of 24 hours duration of the treatment whereby roots are formed.
A process for induction of normal rooting on nodal and internodal stem segments without using hormones or other chemical treatment in Lamiaceae, Bacopa monnieri, or Mentha species, which comprises oblique excision of shoots from the plants, immediately dipping the cut end of twigs or stems having at least one pair of leaves into nutrient-free water and keeping in complete dark for up to one week with temperature cycles of a range of 11-25° C. for 11 hours and a range of 5-10° C. for 13 hours for each of 24 hours duration of the treatment.
A process for induction of normal rooting on nodal and internodal stem segments without using hormones or other chemical treatment in Lamiaceae, Bacopa monnieri, or Mentha species, which comprises oblique excision of shoots from the plants, immediately dipping the cut end of twigs or stems having at least one pair of leaves into nutrient-free water and keeping in complete dark for up to one week with temperature cycles of a range of 11-25° C. for 11 hours and a range of 5-10° C. for 13 hours for each of 24 hours duration of the treatment to induce aerial rooting.
A process for induction of normal rooting on nodal and internodal stem segments without using hormones or other chemical treatment in Lamiaceae, Bacopa monnieri, or Mentha species, which comprises oblique excision of shoots from the plants, immediately dipping the cut end of twigs or stems having at least one pair of leaves thereon into nutrient-free water and keeping in complete dark for up to one week with temperature cycles of a range of 11-25° C. for 11 hours and a range of 5-10° C. for 13 hours for each of 24 hours duration of the treatment to effect root induction.
