INFLUENCE OF ALPHA – NAPHTHALENE ACETIC ACID (ANAA) ON PANGLOMBOIEN (SYZYGIUM SPP.) CUTTINGS

The study evaluated the influence of alpha-naphthalene acetic acid (ANAA) on the Panglomboien cuttings at the different ANAA concentrations. The stem cuttings were put in closed chamber and was being monitored for 38 days. The study used a Completely Randomized Design with four treatments (control, 250 ppm, 750 ppm, 1000 ppm). The result of the study shows a not significant difference among the treatment means. However, among the various concentrations applied, treatment with 250 ppm got the highest result in terms of percent survival, percent callusing, percent rooting, number of roots and root length. Therefore, it is recommended that applying 250 ppm of ANAA is already good enough to the cuttings of Panglomboien and a longer observation for atleast 40-50 days before the data gathering.
