“…Issues like the risk or toxicity of artificial rooting hormones like IBA to humans or the environment coupled with a potential cost analysis were not addressed in the current study. However, the rooting enhancers of natural origin like coconut water and aloe vera that have been used herein and showed similar performance to IBA have been considered environmentally friendly and suitable for use in organic horticulture [30]. As such, the current study encourages the use of environmentally friendly, alternative rooting enhancers with similar performance to conventional rooting hormones such as IBA and provides an early step toward documenting the potential of the rooting enhancers tested for the asexual propagation of Greek R. canina.…”

“…Aryan et al [47] experimented on the effects of different rooting promoters on cuttings of pomegranate plants such as aloe vera in comparison with IBA and concluded no statistically significant differences in the root number or length of the rooted cuttings. Additional studies have tested several rooting hormone alternatives, including aloe vera and coconut water, which could potentially replace chemical rooting hormones, which are costly and pose a toxicity risk to humans and animals [30]. Issues like the risk or toxicity of artificial rooting hormones like IBA to humans or the environment coupled with a potential cost analysis were not addressed in the current study.…”

“…The same holds true for the asexual propagation of native plant material for domestication purposes [26,27], including R. canina [13,28]. The use of alternative rooting enhancers to the conventionally used IBA during propagation is a subject that has been given research attention recently [29,30], with encouraging evidence for small tree species like Cornus spp. and the Rosa sp.…”

The current study aimed to enhance the sustainable utilization framework of the underutilized Greek native Rosa canina L. (rosehip) germplasm as a potential novel crop that can deliver high-quality products with minimum environmental impact. The first part of the work includes asexual propagation trials on cuttings of two Greek R. canina genotypes, assessing the potential of various alternative rooting enhancers to the conventionally used indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), as affected by rooting substrate and cutting type. The propagation results showed commercially acceptable (>50%) rooting rates for 2500 ppm IBA, coconut water, rooting gel and aloe vera treatments and similar rooting attributes of root number and length, providing evidence for the feasibility of using alternative rooting enhancers. The second part of the work presents the results of an ongoing ex situ cultivation trial assessing the potential of a diversified organic fertilization regime against conventional fertilization on fruit size and yield, coupled with macro- and micro-nutrient concentration, in the leaves of four Greek R. canina genotypes. The results showed a genotype-specific response in rosehip fruit size and yield to fertilization, with the organic regime showing comparable results to the conventional fertilization. In addition, diverse patterns, depending on the element, of macro- and micro-nutrient content were measured in the leaves in both fertilization regimes, which were, however, genotype-dependent. Overall, the current study reports for the first time the potential of alternative rooting enhancers for commercial R. canina propagation coupled with the application of organic fertilization as a means of establishing a diversified cultivation protocol for underutilized R. canina germplasm. The current results can be employed to further facilitate a value chain creation for Greek rosehips as a raw material for use in the agro-alimentary and medicinal–cosmetic sectors.

“…Woody pomegranate cuttings can be rooting more successfully, more quickly, more roots than before, and more uniformly if they are treated with natural extracts [6]. One such extract is licorice root extract [7,8], which is added to cuttings and plays a significant role in growth because it contains sugars, proteins, and certain minerals [9,10].…”

The experiment ran from the middle of February until the start of November 2023 under the plant canopy of the Department of Horticulture and Landscape, College of Agriculture, University of Kerbala. The study employed a Randomized Complete Block Design (R.C.B.D.) as a factorial experiment, with two pomegranate varieties (Yamani and Bashkan) as the first factor and various combinations of natural and chemical rootings as the second factor. These included extracts of moringa leaves (M0, M1) and licorice roots (L0, L1) at concentrations of 0 and 15 g L-1 each, as well as indole butyric acid at a concentration of 0 and 10 mg L-1 (B0, B1). The majority of the root features of the resultant seedlings demonstrated that, overall, the Bashkan variety outperformed the Yamani variety; however, this superiority varied when combined with other rooting combinations. Between the rooting stimulant combinations utilized in the study, the cuttings' dipping results differed. When it came to the quantity, size, and fresh and dry weight of the root system, indole butyric acid in combination with B1M0L0 performed better. It resulted in 250.000 root seedlings-1, 2.270 cm3, 20,680 g, and 6,650 g, respectively. In contrast, the B0M0L1 licorice root treatment demonstrated superior root length, reaching 38,100 cm. Both the percentage of rooting and the average root diameter were the largest in the combination including both extracts, B0M1L1, reaching 5.170% and 1.603 mm, respectively. Given that natural extracts have outperformed chemical radicals in the majority of the rooting qualities under study—such as licorice root extract and moringa leaf extract—it is possible to conclude from the aforementioned results on their suitability for usage as an alternative.

“…Aloe vera, an organic material, has emerged as a promising natural alternative to synthetic rooting hormones [9]. Aloe vera comprises a multitude of complex ingredients, such as polysaccharides, glycoproteins, phenolic compounds, salicylic acid, lignin, hormones, amino acids, vitamins, and enzymes.…”

Pomegranate production in Afghanistan is increasing remarkably, but nursery services are lacking, leading to inconsistent growth and low rooting percentages in cuttings. Hence, this research was conducted at the greenhouse of Nangarhar University, Faculty of Agriculture, to investigate the efficacy of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and organic materials, namely banana, garlic, aloe vera, and panchagavya, as rooting promoters on cuttings of the ideal seedless pomegranate cultivar (Bedana). The cuttings were derived from one-year-old dormant branches in mid-February of 2023. The findings indicated that panchagavya and aloe vera significantly (p < 0.05) accelerated the sprouting process of pomegranate cuttings, resulting in 100% rooting, while IBA showed a delayed initiation of sprouting. In contrast, banana had a detrimental effect on the sprouting of the cuttings. IBA and organic materials, except banana and garlic, significantly influenced all the shoot parameters. Among the treatments, panchagavya (21.1%), IBA (23.4%), and aloe vera (26.8%) demonstrated the highest number of shoots per cutting compared to the control. A consistent soil plant analysis development (SPAD) pattern was observed across treatments, positively correlating with shoot and root parameters (range, r = 0.30–0.97). The application of organic materials significantly (p < 0.05) impacted root length, acrobasal roots, root diameter, total root length, and root fresh weight. However, banana and garlic yielded contrasting results in most of these parameters. In conclusion, aloe vera and panchagavya are found to be more suitable for propagating pomegranates through cuttings, making them excellent alternatives to IBA for nurserymen and companies.
