Abstract

This study explored the effects of different rooting hormones on cutting rooting and physiological indices of Ilex cassine‘angustifolia’. Cuttings were treated with KIBA, IBA, NAA, IAA (1000 mg/L each) and CK (water control) via 20-second quick-dip. Results showed KIBA 1000 mg/L as optimal, with 67.6% survival rate, 56.25% rooting rate, and significantly higher root activity, soluble protein, and soluble sugar content. IBA 1000 mg/L followed (54.4% survival rate), while CK and IAA had low rooting rates (12.50% and non-significant, respective-ly). Conclusion: KIBA 1000 mg/L is optimal for promoting rooting and growth of Ilex cassine‘angustifolia’ cuttings.
