The study was conducted at College Nursery, Department of Horticulture, B. A. College of Agriculture, AAU, Anand to evaluate auxins on different types of stem cuttings. Two different auxins like IBA, NAA at 2000, 4000 and 6000 mg l-1 were applied to the hard and semi hard wood cuttings with control and absolute control. Among the different treatments, maximum root growth in respect to rooting percentage i.e. 66.24 and 82.57 per cent, number of primary roots (7.20, 12.34), root length (6.57 and 12.04 cm), dry weight (0.63 and 0.84 g) of root were observed in hardwood cutting treated with IBA 4000 mg l-1 at 30 and 60 DAP, respectively. Similarly, shoot growth in respect of length of shoot (5.20, 9.34 cm) and number of shoots per cutting were also observed maximum in hardwood cutting treated with IBA 4000 mg l-1 at 30 and 60 DAP, respectively. While, minimum numbers of days taken for sprouting i.e. 12.27 days and survival percentage i.e. 76.9 per cent were observed maximum in hardwood cutting treated with IBA 4000 mg l-1.
