Figure 1

Number of First-order adventitious roots plant-1 (NFARP) as affected by different concentrations of IBA; The data for NFARP were statistically highly significant according to analysis of variance Table 1. Means with different alphabetic letters indicate statistically significant differences according to Least Significant Differences (LSD) test (P< 0.05). 

Figure 2

Main Roots Length (MRL cm) as affected by different concentrations of IBA; The data for MRL were statistically significant according to analysis of variance (P< 0.001) Table 1. Means with different alphabetic letters indicate statistically significant differences according to Least Significant Differences (LSD) test (P< 0.05). 

Figure 3

Seedlings Survival Rate (SSR %) as affected by different concentrations of IBA; The data for SSR% were statistically highly significant according to analysis of variance (P< 0.0001) Table 1. Means with different alphabetic letters indicate statistically significant differences according to Least Significant Differences (LSD) test (P< 0.05). 

Figure 4

Plant Height (PH cm %) as effected by different concentrations of IBA; The data for SSR% were statistically highly significant according to analysis of variance Table 1. Means with different alphabetic letters indicate statistically significant differences according to Least Significant Differences (LSD) test (P< 0.05).
