Indolebutyric blotter (IBA) was applied in 0-100 ppm concentrations as a soaking medium of myrtle cuttings for one, 3 and 6 hrs. or in low (0-20 ppm) concentrations unceasingly for cuttings flowering . Cuttings range of elicited roots and root length and myrtle acid, phenoplast and alkaloids contents, giving myrtle plant its edible and pharmaceutical importance, were studied. Results unconcealed that flowering ability of cuttings was improved as variety of elicited roots and by time of cutting

... oaking within the totally different concentrations of IBA. best root range, that was 5 times the management worth was achieved by soaking cuttings for 3 hours in sixty ppm IBA. Length and weight of elicited roots were considerably varied by each time of soaking and concentration of IBA. myrtle cuttings length slightly exaggerated (4%) by six hours of soaking in forty ppm IBA whereas their leaves areas exaggerated (20%) by one hour of cuttings soaking in sixty ppm IBA. Leaves chlorophyll, b and carotenoids weren't affected considerably by IBA concentrations, whereas time of soaking was effective in increasing chlorophyll. Myrtle blotter was exaggerated (5.6%) by sixty ppm IBA, however soaking in eighty ppm for one and 3 hours attenuated it (32% and 33%). Cutting mortality throughout transplantation into soil was improved by low concentration of IBA or by short time of Soaking in high IBA concentration. Study most popular soaking cuttings in low concentrations of IBA particularly five ppm unceasingly because it was found effective in cuttings flowering and vigor which will insure success of plant growth by such cuttings schema.
