Özet

Salvia indica L., Helichrysum plicatum subsp, plicatum D.C., and Satureja thymbra L, are some native grown plants which are used as folk medicine in Hatay province, Turkey. The propagation possibilities of these plants by stem cuttings were investigated, Different IBA (Indole 3-butiric acid) doses were applied to 10-12 cm cuttings as a rooting agent: 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm for H. plicatum; 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 ppm for S. thymbra; and 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 ppm for S. indica L. The experimental design was a completely randomized block with four replications. Each replication had 25 cuttings. Cuttings were immersed in different IBA doses for 5 seconds. No IBA was applied to the control cuttings. Rooting ratio (%), root length (cm), root number (number/cutting) and rooting quality of cuttings were measured. The best rooting ratios were obtained from 250 and 1000 ppm IBA doses for H. plicatum, 1000 and 2000 ppm for S. thymbra and S. indica. © 2002 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
