The effects of 1 H-indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and cutting date on the rooting of semi-hardwood cuttings from the kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa A.Chev.) were investigated. In rooting experiments 0, 4, 6 and 8 gl^{-1} concentrations of the IBA were used and the cuttings were taken on July 23 and August 22, 1999. The results of the study revealed that cuttings taken in July had better rooting ability in terms of main root numbers, the mean length of the longest 5 roots and rooting area. On the other hand, 6 and 8 gl^{-1} IBA concentrations did not significantly affect rooting ability. Split …
