Abstract:
The experiment was carried to study the influence of sun-drying and sucrose on adventitious root development from pineapple crown. Crowns were sun-dried & treated with sucrose concentrations of 2%, 4% & 0% respectively. Pineapple crowns were dipped in the sucrose solution and kept in ambient condition. There were six treatments that were replicated thrice in Completely Randomized Design. The sucrose solution was changed after every third day to avoid microbial contamination. Multiple parameters were studied at different intervals. From the whole experiment, it can be said that the treatments with 4% sucrose & without sun drying proved to most affluent in case of every aspect in adventitious root development of pineapple crown.
