Abstract:
The species Punica granatum L. has seen significant development in its production over
the past few years, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. In the Brazilian Northeast,
where some areas experience subtropical, warm-temperate, or even tropical climates, its
cultivation is becoming increasingly common. The research aimed to evaluate the use of
synthetic phytohormones at different concentrations to promote the rooting of Punica
granatum. The study was conducted at the Federal University of Campina Grande, Center
for Education and Health, Cuité-PB Campus, in a greenhouse. The research spanned from
March 29, 2023, to June 27, 2023. The evaluated variables included leaf count, root
emission and length, stem diameter, and green and dry phytomass. Unfortunately, the
results were not promising, as there was no statistical difference between the treatments
and concentrations of synthetic rooting agents used. It can be concluded that the synthetic
rooting agents (IBA and ANA) did not promote the rooting of Punica granatum.
