The root propensity of the four elite varieties identified plum genotypes viz., Kalanoki, Manaka, Dhariwala and Alu Bokhara Peshawari from Punjab sub-tropics was assessed with the use of varying levels of IBA. The different genotypes showed a varying response to the different levels of IBA in respect to the sprouting and survival success, root count and shoot growth. Highest success was achieved through the use of lBA 200 ppm in all the four varieties. The representative plants propagated through this studies have been conserved in the departmental plum collection block for the future evaluation.
