Abstract: An experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, UAHS, Shivamogga, from 2017 to 2018 to know the influence of growth regulators on rooting of stem cuttings in Dragon Fruit. Number of days taken for root initiation was found early in IBA 7000 ppm (14.54), Percentage of cuttings rooted at 30 and 60 DAP (33.66 and 57.75 %), Length of the longest root at 30, 60 and 90 DAP (4.57, 10.65 and 23.07 cm), Average number of roots per cutting (12.70, 21.74 and 46.68), Average length of the roots per cutting (3.95, 6.32 and 12.41 cm), Root volume (0.31, 1.81 and 1.97 cc), Root diameter (0.56, 0.76 and 1.47), Fresh weight of the root (0.46, 1.87 and 2.28) and Dry weight of the root (0.25, 0.46 and 0.67) respectively at 30, 60 and 90 DAP. The results revealed that cuttings treated with IBA 7000 ppm gave the best root growth.
