Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effect of IBA on Rooting and Growth of Morus alba Shoot Cuttings under Temperate Conditions of Kashmir was carried out at Faculty of Forestry, Benihama, Ganderbal J&K. Cuttings of Morus alba having length of 9 inches and pencil size diameter were collected in the first week of March 2018 from actively growing plant (one year old shoot) located in the study area and were treated with Indole 3-butyric acid (IBA) at varying concentrations (100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 ppm) for 24 hours, besides control was maintained by immersing cuttings in distilled water. On the basis of studies conducted and considering various parameters it was concluded that IBA@ 100 ppm is the best plant growth regulator to be used for vegetative propagation of Morus alba under existing conditions.
