Abstract
The study analyzed on selected citrus species stem cutting on rooting response. Different rooting hormones (IBA, IAA, NAA, Hormex and Saredex) were used for cuttings at the recommended rate and 6 morphological characteristics were generated and detected after 60 days.
Interaction effects between citrus species and rooting hormones in all parameters were not significant but hormone and citrus mean had significant effects in all parameters except on days to shoot, number of shoots, number of leaves and number of roots. Rooting performance of citrus species performed better and improved when used of any hormones (NAA, IAA, IBA and Hormex).
The result of the study clearly showed that the use of any rooting hormones especially Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) can enhance the rootability of selected citrus species (Calamansi. Calamandarin and Dalandan) as early as than 60 days
