Abstract: The present investigation was conducted during 2011-12 at Horticultural Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut (UP) – 250110. The experiment was laid of Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The experiment consisted of ten treatment viz., T1 – 400ppm IBA +garden soil + sand (1:1),T2 – 400ppm IBA + garden soil + sand + FYM (1:1:1), T3 – 400ppm IBA + garden soil + sand + vermi-compost (1:1:1), T4 – 800ppm IBA + garden soil + sand (1:1), T5 – 800ppm IBA + garden soil + sand + FYM (1:1:1) ,T6 – 800ppm IBA + garden soil + sand + vermi-compost (1:1:1), T7 – 1200ppm IBA + garden soil + sand (1:1), T8 -1200ppm IBA + garden soil + sand + FYM (1:1:1), T9 – 1200ppm IBA + garden soil + sand + vermi-compost (1:1:1), T10 – Control (Garden soil). Out of these, the treatment 800ppm IBA + garden soil + sand + vermi-compost (1:1:1) was gave significant results on rooting of stem cuttings and survival percentage of lemon (Citrus limon Burm) cv. Pant Lemon-1 as compared to control ones under western UP conditions.
Keywords: Lemon stem cutting, IBA, Vermi-compost, Survivality
