Abstract
Cuttings from three southern magnolia cultivars, `Claudia Wannamaker', `Greenback™', and `Little Gem', were treated with KIBA, KNAA, and Hormodin #3, separately and in combination, at varying concentrations. The rooting of cuttings was cultivar-dependent, with `Greenback™' responding significantly to all the treatments. Only the high KNAA and combination treatments were effective with `Little Gem' and `Claudia Wannamaker'. The effect of KNAA on rooting with increasing concentration was significant. No similar response was observed with KIBA. The combination treatment with quick dip plus the talc formation produced the greatest rooting and root quality with the three cultivars. With this treatment, the average rooting rate of three cultivars was 67.4%, whereas the rooting rate of control plants was only 11.8%.
