Stevia grows well in sandy loam soils with an ample
supply of water. stevia prefers acidic to neutral soil with a PH range of
6.5-7.5 for its best growth. Saline soils should be avoided as stevia
plant is susceptible to water logged conditions.
Propagation
Stevia plants can be propagated from cuttings or seeds or
by tissue culture. As the seed germination is very poor and seedlings are very
slow to establish, it is generally propagated clonally through cuttings. For
vegetative propagation, stem cuttings of 15 cm length taken from leaf axils of
the current year’s growth have been given better results. Treatment with
Paclobutrazol @ 100ppm has been found to induce the root initiation in short
time and IBA@500 ppm is also found to be effective. The best months for
propagation are February-March. The cuttings will be ready for transplanting
after 25-30 days of rooting.
