Rooting of peach cuttings in function of the use of indolbutyric acid and organic fertilizer

This work aim to appraise the effect of indolbutyric acid (IBA) and HFF turfa fértil® organic fertilizer concentrations on rooting of semi-hardwood cuttings of peach 'Capdebosq'. The cuttings were treated by IBA at 500; 1,000; 2,000 and 4,000 mg.L-1 and destilled water (0 mg.L-1) as witness. Later on the cuttings were planted in expanded polyestirene trays with 72 cells using vermiculite as substrate and placed inside intermitent mist chamber. At 30 days after the beginning of the experiment was places the HFF turfa fértil® organic fertilizer at concentrations of 0, 3 and 5 mL.L-1 on the tray cells. At 86 days were evaluated the rooted cuttings percentage and the average number of roots per cuttings. The use of HFF turfa fértil® in association with IAB promoted higher rooting in relation of treatments without the organic fertilizer. The higher percentage of peach rooted cuttings were obtained with a combination of 2,000 mg.L-1 of AIB and 5 mL.L-1 of HFF turfa fértil®.
