Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz.) is an important tuber cultivated in India. Cassava is vegetatively propagated through stem cuttings (setts). A mature plant with two stems will give about 12 to 20 normal sized (20 cm) setts after one year. Farmers are practicing 8-10 cm long cuttings from the mature part of stem and planted in vertical position in nursery bed at closer spacing of 5 cm. Under conventional system of propagation, 1250 to 1500 stems are required for planting one hectare of area.

Liquid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium in varying strengths, is the most commonly utilized medium for proficient rooting in the regenerated plants in doubled haploidy breeding protocols. On the other side, CPV (cocopeat: perlite: vermiculite) medium is currently being used in hardening of tissue culture regenerated plants.

The experiment was conducted in a polyhouse to study the effect of types of stem cuttings [shoot tip (C1), semi-hardwood (C2) and hardwood cuttings (C3)], growing media [sand (M1), soilrite (M2), soil mixture (M3) and cocopeat (M4)] and plant growth regulator [IBA0 ppm (G0), 500 ppm (G1), 1000 ppm (G2), 1500 ppm (G3) solution and rootex powder (G4)], on rooting and shooting parameters of acid-lime (Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swingle) Cv. Kagzi lime cuttings.
