In this study, efforts were made to standardize vegetative propagation techniques for Lycium shawiL Nitraria retusa and Farsetia aegyptia. Effects of varying concentrations of rooting hormones on the success of rooting of hardwood cuttings of these species were studied in this research. Rooting in hardwood cuttings of Lycium shawii was enhanced （100%） by treating them with 1,000 ppm IBA, Ormone radicante in polvere （5,000 ppm NAA） and hormex （1,000 ppm IBA）. Treatment with 1,000 ppm NAA was found to be effective for Nitraria retusa, while marginal success was recorded in rooting of hardwood cuttings of Farsetia aegyptia when treated with 400 ppm NAA. Rooting in untreated cuttings was 80%.展开更多
