The present experiment was carried out to evaluate the “Effect of NAA and IBA on rooting and shooting parameters of stem cutting of Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.)” was conducted during the February month of year 2024-25 under Shade net house at the College of Horticulture and Research Station Saja, Bemetara, Mahatma Gandhi University of Horticulture & Forestry, Durg (C.G.), A complete random design was used for statistically analysed of data, which consisted of 9 treatments and replicated thrice. the experiment included four levels of plant growth regulators viz. NAA (500 mg/ L, 1000 mg/L, 1500 mg/L, 2000 mg/L) and IBA (500 mg/ L, 1000 mg/L, 1500 mg/L, 2000 mg/L), and untreated (Distilled water) used as control. The present research revealed that the treatment T₈ (IBA 2000 mg/L) was the most effective in promoting overall growth and rooting of cuttings, as it recorded the superior rooting parameters including number of roots (13.27), root length (19.73 cm), rooting percentage (90.00%), and both fresh root weight (1.21 g.) and dry root weight (0.163 g.).Thus, T₈ (IBA 2000 mg/L) proved to be the best treatment for enhancing propagation success and root development in cuttings.
