Whether S-36 has got rooting problems ?
A six month old cutting of S-36 variety gives about a 50% rooting. However, this can be improved marginally by suing cuttings of 8 months old shoots. Rooting can also be improved by treating the cuttings with root promoting harmones like NAA, IAA, IBA etc. 19 Is there any problem, if urea is applied for alkaline soil. ? Among the various nitrogenous fertilizers, higher nitrogen loss and lowever mineralization were observed in case of application of urea in alkaline soils. Hence, application of ammonium sulphate was found to be superior in alkaline soils as it being an acidic fertilizer and contain sulphur that helps in brining down the pH and reduces nitrogen loss.
