Abstract

Abstract Double eye (DE) and single eye (SE) nodal semihardwood cuttings of jojoba [Simmondsia chinensis (Link) Schneider] treated with 2000 ppm indolebutyric acid were rooted successfully under intermittent mist in a mixture of 1 perlite : 1 vermiculite. Differences in rooting percentages between 5-node, single node DE, and single node SE cuttings were not significant. The root systems of 5-node cuttings were much larger than those of nodal cuttings, and DE cuttings produced significantly more roots than SE cuttings. Clonal differences for rooting capability were evident among 12 clones tested; percentage of rooting varied from 30 to 97 for DE cuttings and from 43 to 95 for SE cuttings. Significantly more cuttings rooted in the 1 perlite: 1 vermiculite rooting mix than in Oasis Root Cubes.
