The experiment was carried out during the year 2017-18 at Department of Horticulture, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani on pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Bhagwa. The cuttings were taken from hardwood cuttings arising on trees of pomegranate cv. Bhagwa during the month of July. Experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Designed(FRBD) with 18 treatments and 3 factors which are replicated trice and no. of cuttings per treatment are 40. Result revealed that significantly maximum number of roots, highest length of roots, rooting percentage and weight of roots was recorded with treatment D2i.e. (1.5 cm) and lowest values in D1i.e. (1 cm diameter). Significantly maximum number of roots, highest length of roots, rooting percentage and weight of roots was recorded with treatment L3i.e. (20 cm) and minimum values in L1i.e. (10 cm length) and maximum number of roots, highest length of roots, rooting percentage and weight of roots of pomegranate cutting were recorded with treatment T3i.e. (IBA 5000 ppm) and minimum values were found in T1i.e. (IBA 3000 ppm).
