Peach a nutritious temperate fruit requires suitable rooting media for propagation of peach through cuttings. Hence, a research study was conducted during 2019-20 at Khalsa College, Amritsar, India to study the effect of different rooting media on success of cuttings in peach cv. Shan-i-Punjab. During the study eight different treatments comprising of rooting media (sand, cocopeat, vermiculite, perlite, cocopeat + soil, vermiculite + soil (1:1), perlite + soil (1:1) and soil-control) were undertaken in Randomised Block Design replicated thrice. The results of the study indicated that cocopeat + soil (1:1) proved to be the best in terms of minimum days to first sprouting (13.60 days), maximum sprouting (74.53%), survival (83.03%), root number/cutting (12.88), root length (7.93 cm), fresh weight of root (0.89 g), dry weight of root (0.57 g), number of leaves (38.78) and leaf area (69.56 cm²) after 90 days of planting. The rooting media of cocopeat mixed with soil can be used as an appropriate medium for development and survival of the planted peach cuttings.
