Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)

Aiming to verify the rooting of abiu cuttings the present research was realized using cuttings with 15 cm of length and treated with indolbutiric acid, in the doses of 0, 1000, 3000 and 5000 mg dm -3. The experiment were conducted in a nursery with intermitent artificial mist conditions of the Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias - UNESP, Jaboticabal Campus, São Paulo, in the period of summer. The experimental delineation used was a random design, with 4 repetitions and 10 cuttings per parcel, in a total of 160 cuttings. After 150 days the evaluations were made for: percentage of rooted and survived cuttings, percentage of cuttings with root and with calluses. In the conditions that the experiment was done, can be conclude that the cutting is a viable method to propagate the abiu and the treatment with indolebutyric acid increased rooting in the specie.
