Present investigation consisted of hardwood cuttings of about 15-20cm length and 0.8-1.2cm diameter having 5-6 buds that were prepared from the dormant twigs of the 4-5 years old peach plants in the second fortnight of November. The basal portion of the cuttings was dipped in different doses of nine treatments viz. IBA (1500 ppm, and 3000 ppm), NAA (1000 ppm, and 2000 ppm) and combinations of IBA and NAA (IBA 1500 ppm + NAA 1000 ppm, IBA 1500 ppm + NAA 2000 ppm, IBA 3000 ppm + NAA 1000 ppm and IBA 3000 ppm + NAA 2000 ppm) and control were evaluated. On the basis of data recorded on rooting parameters after 45 days of planting, it was concluded that rooting parameters like root length, root thickness, length of main root, number of roots/cutting and root weight were found maximum in Early Grande when treated with IBA 3000ppm. It was concluded that IBA at 3000 ppm was found to be the best treatment for propagation of peach through hardwood cuttings.
