The paper portrays Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) effects on rooting of cuttings of Star Gooseberry. The study was conducted during the year 2013-14, in poly house conditions at NAU, Navsari, using two different vegetative cuttings: Hardwood Cuttings and Top Cuttings. A Completely Randomized Design with Factorial concept (FRBD) comprising of two factors (1) types of cutting (hardwood cutting and top cutting) and (2) different concentration of IBA (0, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000 mg l-1). Results showed that among the different cutting types and different IBA concentration, hardwood cutting and 2000 mg l-1 were individually as well as in their combination found to be the most beneficial for early sprouting and maximum sprouting percentage. Similar trend was observed on the growth parameters such as number of leaves, leaf area, length of longest root, fresh and dry biomass of root, root : shoot ratio and survival percentage.
