Abstract

In 3 separate experiments, IBA at 2000 or 5000 mg l −1 stimulated shoot development on leaf cuttings. Success was higher during the summer months. Kinetin in the range of 10–1000 mg l −1 neither promoted nor inhibited shoot development. Hormones were prepared as aqueous solutions in 50% ethanol and applied to the basal portion of the cuttings. This technique provides a practical method for vegetative propagation of cauliflower for use in breeding programs in temperate regions.
