This research work was design to investigate the influence ofdifferent treatments of Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) on the cuttings ofavocado. Cuttings of avocado were transplanted from the sand beds tothe plastic bags after a year with mixture of soil garden, farmyardmanure, and silt of equal proportion. The study was conducted in greenhouse at University of Poonch Rawalakot, during 2017. The experimentwas allocated within three replications, and each replication contained25 cuttings under a completely randomized design with four treatmentscontrol, 4000 ppm, 5000 ppm and 6000 ppm. There were differentvarieties of Fuerte , Cylone purple , Bunched fruit contained cuttings ofeach replication. Analysis of the data for parameters (Number of rootsper plant, Root length, Number of leaves, Shoot length, Shoot diameter,Root diameter, and Survival percentage) was performed according toCRD (Statistic 8.1). The present results exhibited that Feurete avocadovariety performed better at 6000 ppm concentration of IBA in terms ofsurvival percentage, high root and shoot growth.Keywords: Avocado cuttings, varieties of Avocado, Level of IBA andSurvival percentage
