Generally fruiting mulberry varieties are difficult to multiply by vegetative means.
However, it may be facilitated through the use of hormones. This study was conducted to
find out the most responsive mulberry varieties (V1-Alf025, V2-Alfonso, and V3-Alf004),
find out the best dipping duration (L1-36hrs, L2-24hrs, and L3-12hrs), determine the
interaction effect of the dipping duration and mulberry fruiting varieties on the survival
percentage and growth and determine the economic potentials of hormone dipping with
the different mulberry varieties. Two thousand one hundred sixty (2,160) mulberry cuttings
were randomly distributed into two factors with three replication employing strip plot
design.
Results showed that the duration of hormone dipping significantly affected the
survival rate and growth of the mulberry fruit variety. The three mulberry fruiting varieties
performed comparably except for the weight of the shoot and length of the roots. Further,
the interaction of the dipping duration of hormones and the variety of mulberry
significantly influenced the survival rate and growth.
