Abstract

Buchnania lanzan is considered as very difficult to root species with poor survival and growth in the field. Hence the rooting trial was established in the CFRHRD, Chhindwara. The rooting trial was conducted using root cutting of B. lanzan. The maximum rooting per cent (67.00), length of the longest root (1.89), and number of leaves (1.32) were recorded in cutting treated with IAA 1600 ppm. Maximum rooting percentage (52.7) was observed in root cutting having thickness (1.5-3.5 mm). However combined effect of cutting thickness and IAA concentration revealed that cutting having diameter of 3.6-5.5 mm showed maximum rooting percentage with 800 and 1600 ppm IAA. A trial has also been carried out on performance of different types of planting stocks with stipulated irrigation schedule to assess the possibility and feasibility of establishing the B. lanzan. Plantation at CFRHRD, Chhindwara. The results show that one year old seed raised seedling is performing better in the field in respect of height and survival. Also one year, root cutting raised plants performed equally good as the former one. A 16 mm drip system of irrigation had been given to the plantation with twice in a week frequency. Therefore, one year old planting stock raised either from seeds or from root cutting can be used for establishing the Buchnania lanzan plantation.
