Vegetative Propagation Of Jatropha Curcas l. And Jatropha Gossypifolia l. By Stem Cuttings

Investigation carried out on vegetative propagation of Jatropha curcas L. and Jatropha. gossypifolia L. by stem cuttings. It was recorded that the hardwood cuttings was proved significantly effective for percent rooting and more number of leaves in Jatropha species as compared to semi hard and soft wood cuttings. Similarly vegetative cutting of length 40 cm showed maximum percent rooting and leaves per cuttings while cuttings with 10cm length showed poor rooting and leaves response.
