Abstract:

The research was conducted in Latakia province, Syria, to investigate the effect of Location (Al- Samrah vs. Al-Nabaeen), tree gender, season, and indole-butyric acid {4000ppm, control (non-treated)} on the rooting ability of semi-hard wood stem cuttings of Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis L.). Results
showed that Location affects rooting percentage significantly (32.5% for Al-Samrah vs. 16.8% for Al-Nabaeen location). The number of roots per cutting for Al-Samrah (3.2 root/cutting) was superior to Al-Nabeen (2.4 root/cutting). Female trees' rooting ability (29.3%) was significantly higher than male trees (19.9%), while the no-significant effect on the number of roots per cutting was found. The highest rooting ability (%) was of cuttings taken in winter and spring (28.89%) semi-hard wooden in fall had significantly the lowest rooting ability (16.1%). The factorial analysis showed significant interaction among the studied parameters. The highest rooting ability was cutting taken from Al-Samrah location from female trees in winter and spring seasons when treated with IBA (4000ppm) (82.22%). Results suggest that for obtaining the highest rooting of laurel, semi-hardwood stem cuttings, cutting should be taken from Al-Samrah location in winter or spring from female trees and treated with IBA (4000ppm).
