Abstract
Indian apples (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) is a fruiting plant originating from India. The
spread of this plant can grow in subtropical and tropical regions. Generative propagation is
difficult to carry out because Indian apple seeds are classified as hard-skinned seeds
(physical dormancy). Vegetative propagation is an alternative to the multiplication of
Indian apple seeds, through cuttings. Giving Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) as a type of
synthetic auxin, has been proven to increase rooting in many plants. This study aimed to
determine the effect of (IBA) as growth regulators with various concentrations on shoot,
middle, and base cuttings using Completely Randomized Design with 8 treatments. The
results obtained from this study stated that there was the effect of morphological changes in
cuttings on the shoot middle, and base cuttings. The number and length of root were not
produced in all treatments. Formation of nodules was only found in the stem cuttings with
21 (days after planting) nodules appearing at a concentration of 25 mg/L.
