EFFECT OF GROWTH OF REGULATOR ON THAUMATOCOCUCUS DANIELLII BENTH
AbstractThis study was conducted to determine the efficient level of growth regulator best suitable for the growth performance of T. daniellii rhizomes. The samples were concentrations of growth regulator mixed with 2kg of topsoil at different ratios as treatments. Eight (5) treatments included: varied concentrations of Indol-3-L butyric acid (0ml, 0.2ml, 0.4ml, 0.6ml and 0.8ml) + 2kg soil. The treatments were replicated five (5) times and laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Parameters assessed were plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves root length, and leaf area of the seedlings. The data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and means were separated using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% significance level. The result showed a significant difference among the treatments at 5% probability level except in plant height. It can be concluded that adding 0.4ml Indol-3-ylbutyric acid is most suitable for T. daniellii rhizomes and is recommended for better producing healthy and vigorous seedlings.
