The study to evaluate the effect of indoles-butyric acid (MA) each at control, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000 ppm on semi-hard wood guava (Psidium guajava L.) cuttings was conducted in Fruit Nursery Farm, Kohat. Cuttings were taken in July 2002 from a commercial orchard in Kohat and dipped for 12 hours in required solutions. Ten different parameters were studied and it was found that indoles-butyric acid had no effect on number of days to bud sprouting and sprouting percentage. Survival percentage (35.71%), number of leaves (13.93), number of branches (3.80), branch length (7.2 cm), number of roots per cutting (21.15), root length (6.089 cm), root weight (4.57 gm) and rooting percentage (39.28%) were observed maximum at 1000 ppm and found significantly different.
