Autumn olive berry is used as functional food due to the very high content of
lycopene. It is a deciduous, perennial, temperate and/or subtropical berry fruits
and has a woody bush. Autumn olive leaves, flowers, berries and bushes can be
used for many purposes. It grows well at sunny areas and tolerates dry conditions
with salty, clay, sandy and different pH soils. Autumn olive berry can be diverse
with its seed eaten by birds. Cultivated autumn olive berry types generally propagate by cuttings. In the present study, hardwood, leafy green wood and semi
hardwood cuttings taken from mother plants of autumn olive berry at March 15,
May 15 and July 15. All type of cuttings applied with 0 ppm (control), 500 ppm,
1,000 ppm and 2,000 ppm Indole-3-butryic acid (IBA) doses. Cuttings were
planted in benches with perlite under misting at greenhouse conditions for rooting. The effect of cutting time and IBA application on the rooting rate (%), root
number, rooting degree (1-9), diameter and length of the saplings (cm) and salable sapling rate (%) were determined. Pearson correlation among the features
studied was also calculated. Cuttings taken at May with 1,000 or 2,000 ppm IBA
and June with 500 ppm gave the highest rooting rate (97.33%). Root length is the
best (11.90 cm) at May cuttings with 500 ppm IBA. May cuttings with 1,000
ppm IBA gave the best salable sapling rate (89.33%). The best cutting time was
15 May and the best IBA dose is the 1,000 ppm for most characteristics, investigated
