Rooting in Podocarpus falcatus (Thunb.) Mirb. (syn. P. gracilior Pilg.) was studied using branch cuttings and whole seedlings harvested from 3-month-old, 2-year-old, 4-year-old and 8-year-old stockplants. The study was conducted in two separate propagators (two blocks) in which six different IBA treatments, viz. 0 μg, 20 μg, 40 μg, 80 μg, 160 μg or 320 μg IBA/cutting were administered to each of the 50–60 cuttings per treatment. The study found that cuttings from 3-month-old and 2-year-old stockplants responded well to IBA dosages between 20 μg and 80 μg/cutting, but were inhibited at higher concentrations. Treatments higher than 40 μg/cutting significantly (P
