Two experiments, with two cassava cultivars Amarilla and Palomita, were conducted under Argentinean field conditions to study the effect of napthtalene-acetic acid (NAA) exogenous application on rooting process. Before planting, cuttings were immersed in solution 1.3 g sodium α-napthtil acetate in 20 L water during 8 hours; control cuttings were immersed in water. After the treatments, cuttings were planted in a randomized block design. The application of NAA made tuberous roots differentiation earlier in cv. Palomita compared to control plants and incremented root dry mater percentage in cv Amarilla at 120 days after plantation. Changes observed in yield and quality characteristics were genotype dependent. Under the conditions of this experiment, ANA application did not modify neither yield no productivity of this crop. These results suggest that new experiments should be necessary to conduct a profound study on the effect of other doses and exposition time of the hormone with different cultivars. |
