Title: Jojoba Propagation by Leafy Semi Hardwood Stem Cuttings
Abstract: 2 Abstract: The present study was carried out on twelve years old jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis, (Link) Schneider) shrub during two consecutive experimental 2010 & 2011 seasons. Due to propagation of jojoba shrubs by seed, extreme genetic variation was detected. Herein the effect of three factors namely wounding, date of collecting cuttings and dipping in chemical treatments were investigated on cutting's success percentage. Wounded cuttings recorded significantly higher success percentage than that of unwounded cuttings. Success percentage at the end of July date was significantly the highest. Indole butyric acid (3000 ppm) + Naphthalene acetic acid (500 ppm) treatment recorded the highest success percentage and didn't significantly differ from IBA (3000 ppm) + NAA (500 ppm) + vitamin C (1000 ppm) treatment. Success percentage at the end of July with wounded cuttings significantly gave the highest significant values. The best results were recorded by unwounded cuttings of IBA (3000 ppm) with NAA (500 ppm) treatment, wounded cuttings of IBA (3000 ppm) with NAA (500 ppm) plus vitamin C (1000 ppm) treatment and IBA (5000 ppm) + NAA (500 ppm) + boric acid (0.5 ppm) treatment with insignificant difference. The highest success percentage was recorded by using IBA (3000 ppm) plus NAA (500 ppm) treatment and with the addition of vitamin C (1000 ppm) with insignificant difference at the end of July date. Wounded cuttings of IBA (3000 ppm) with NAA (500 ppm) plus C (1000 ppm) and NAA (2000 ppm) treatments and unwounded cuttings of IBA (3000 ppm) + NAA (500 ppm) treatment at the end of July recorded the highest success percentage with insignificant difference between them.
