Abstract : Pretreatment of stock plants with cycocel [chlormequat] or ethrel [ethephon] induced rooting on cuttings and air layers of mango, a difficult-to-root plant. Application of IBA to the cuttings and air layers from pretreated shoots improved rooting, chlormequat pretreatment being more effective than ethrel. Morphactin pretreatment inhibited rooting.
