Abstract


The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) on the rooting of five wild accessions of blueberry (HCHA-262, HCHA-271, HCHA-283, HCHA-286, and HCHA-290) obtained from natural populations in the province of Chachapoyas (northern Peru). Buds were collected from the middle third of the plant and treated with IBA at concentrations of 0, 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 mg L−1. The results indicated that of the IBA doses, the 2,000-mg L−1 dose achieved the best effects on the rooting percentage and the lengths and numbers of roots and shoots of each accession studied. Accessions HCHA-262 and HCHA-283 showed greater regeneration of new seedlings than the other accessions after 45 days. The rhizogenic capacity of the cuttings varied because of the influences of both the IBA concentration and the genotype of the mother plant.
