Semi-hardwood cuttings of Cotoneaster buxifolius Wallich ex Lindl. were treated with indolebutyric acid (IBA) at rates of 0, 2000, 4000, 6000, or 8000 ppm. and rooted in flats containing either peat:perlite (1:l by vol) or 100% perlite. Rooting percentage, numbers of roots, and root quality were generally higher in the 100% perlite medium. The greatest numbers of roots and highest root quality were obtained with the 4000 or 6000 ppm IBA.Abstract
