Abstract

Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth.) is an important essential oil plant for the perfume industry, and has a high medicinal value. This study aims to investigate the effect of several factors, such as cutting types, seasons, and commercial root stimulants, on the rooting of patchouli cuttings. The obtained study results demonstrated that the highest rooting eficency by using juvenile shoots, in both winter and spring, when compared with mature and old shoots. Commercial root stimulants haved dissimilar effects on rooting of patchouli (rooting rate, number of roots, root length) in different cutting shoot types. The rooting rate was 100% in all experimental treatments using juvenile shoots. King root and Rooting power were more effective to improving the number of roots per cutting and the root length than two other commercial root stimulants, N3M and Rootone. The number of roots/cutting was highest at juvenile shoots (27.2 and 28.8 roots/cutting) and mature shoots (27.0 and 25.6 roots/cutting) treated with King root and Rooting power. Meanwhile, the largest root length was observed at juvenile shoots (50,8 mm) treated with Rooting power. This work suggested using juvenile shoots to patchouli propagation by cutting method. The favorable cutting seassons was spring. King root and Rooting power were two effective commercial root stimulants to propagate this medicnial species.
