Abstract
A pot experiment was conducted to determine the rooting response of giant bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper Schult) to different nodes per cutting and types of rooting hormone. The different treatment: Factor A - Type of rooting hormone; Rootgro (ANAA) and Hormex (IBA); Factor B - Number of nodes per cutting: Two - node cutting, three-nodes per cutting and four-node cutting. Results of the study revealed that only type of rooting hormone significantly affected the rooting response of giant bamboo cuttings. Early rooting of 20 days and longer roots of 6.67 cm were noted from cuttings treated with Rootgro (ANNA) rooting hormone regardless of the number of nodes per cutting. However, the length of shoot and percentage rooted cuttings of giant bamboo cuttings was not affected by the two factors evaluated.
