Abstract: 

In order to study the Effect of IBA concentrations on success of cuttings of fig cv. Brown Turkey an investigation was conducted at the nursery of Department of Horticulture, Khalsa College, Amritsar during 2016-2017. Six treatments were used comprising of IBA (500, 750, 1000 ppm) by slow dip and IBA (2000, 3000, 4000 ppm) by quick dip method along with control. The results of investigation indicated that out of all the treatments IBA (3000 ppm) applied by quick dip proved to be the best in terms of minimum days to first sprouting (13.66), maximum sprouting percentage (77.77%), survival percentage (73.33%), rooting percentage (71.10%), number of roots per cutting (36.99), root length (28.12cm), fresh weight of roots (1.86g), dry weight of roots (0.70g), number of shoots per cutting (5.33), average shoot diameter (0.57cm), shoot length (16.2cm), fresh weight of shoots (52.39g), dry weight of shoots (20.35g), number of leaves (17.08) and total leaf area (299.61cm2 ).
