Effect of Different Potting Media on Sprouting, Survival and Growth Performance of Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spp.) Cuttings

The present investigation on “Effect of different potting media on bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spp.) cuttings’’was carried out during academic year 2023-24 at College of Horticulture, Dapoli, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli, Maharashtra, India. The experiment was laid down in Randomized Block Design (RBD) replicated thrice with eight treatments. The maximum number of sprouts (3.10), sprouting percentage (95.00), survival percentage (88.33), plant height (56.76 cm), relative growth rate (0.0068 cm/cm/day) were recorded in treatment T8 i.e. Soil + Sand + FYM +Vermicompost (1:1:1:). The combination of soil, sand, FYM, vermicompost showed better performance for sprouting, survival and growth parameters.
