Abstract

This study was conducted in the greenhouse of Horticulture department in College Agriculture, Al-Anbar University from 1/3/ 2010 to 1/1/2011 using the Terminnl cutting of ficus nitida.L . The stady conducted wounding &diswounding, treating with IBA consintrations (0,3000,5000 or 8000 ) mgL and the dates of taking the cutting (March , April ,May or November) on rooting ability of Terminal cuttings to get good plants were studied in the experiment . the experiment condectedin complete Randomized Design (CRD) were used. Treatment means were Compared in Revised Least Significant Design test ( R.L.S.D ) at 0.05 level of probability. The results could summarized as follows All wounded treatment coaned raising in rooting persent to 51.43 % early in rooting of catting to 32.5 day , dry weiyht of cutting to 0.05 gr , number of Leaves to 35.34 Leve / plant , plant high to 13.19 cm in 6 mounths age .
3000 mg /L of ABA treatment want superior than other Treatments in thoae charactrstics to 52.76 % , 30 days, 0.06gr ,38.47 Leaves and 15.54 cm respectivlly . Best rooting and vegetative characterstic of new plants couldbe obtained in march and April date of cutting especially for rooting percentage .mean fresh and dry weigt of which were (59.43 , 78.85) % , (0.08 , 0.05) gr. Respectivlly , were as vegetative characterstics (94.44 , 20.33) leaves / plant and (7.91, 3.61)branch/plant and hight (11.66 , 14.5) cm plant after gmanthe from plating
