Hardwood dormant cuttings of 5 cultivars (Monty, Bruno, Hayward, Abbott and Allison) of Actinidia deliciosa (a recent introduction to India) were prepared from shoots of 8-yr-old plants in the last week of February (before bud-burst) to study rooting behaviour. Before planting in polythene bags in river sand the cuttings were dipped into IBA solutions at 0, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 ppm, followed by 0.3% Captan (fungicide) solution.
