This experiment has proved the influence of foliar treatments with four hormones for the process and the percentage of rooting in olive Himara varieties. The method was implemented in September; the cuttings are prepared in the apical part of the sprig. Variants applied are: Control (hydro alcoholic), 4000 ppm IBA basal and four foliar concentrations 50, 100 and 200 ppm for each hormone; BAP, GA₃, IBA and NAA constitute the scheme of this experiment. The results have proved that the treatment basal IBA has favored better rooting process compared with the foliar treatment.  IBA foliar were 2.0% higher than NAA treatments and 2.7% compared with GA3 foliar and BAP. Only, IBA basal when it is associated with 100-200 ppm foliar IBA changed versus others. In general, foliar treatments have increased 0.8-2.0%, versus the rooting control percentage, while basal IBA treatments 46.3%. Four hormones have caused different reactions for defoliation whereas for the roots biometrics index are small changes.
