Abstract

An investigation to optimize size of cuttings and best month for propagation of Indian plumeria was conducted at College of Horticulture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri during the year 2019-2020. The experiment was laid in factorial randomized block design with five replications. It consisted of two factors viz. size of cutting and month of planting. All the parameters recorded were significantly influenced by size of cutting and month of planting. From the present research on propagation studies of Indian Plumeria, the results revealed that maximum sprouting percentage, survival percentage, plant height, number of leaves, average leaf area, girth at collar as well as absolute growth rate and relative growth rate was observed in T3M1 i.e., 40 cm cuttings planted on 15th of February.
