Grape is mostly propagated by hardwood stem cuttings. Four-noded cuttings from well mature canes on proven vines are made. The diameter of cuttings should be 8—10mm. Cuttings are mostly obtained from October pruning in the peninsula. Rooting of cuttings is not a problem. To increase the rooting of stem cuttings, they should either be soaked or dipped to cover the basal buds in IBA solution. For overnight soaking, 500ppm IBA solution is used, while 2000ppm solution is used for quick dipping for 10 sec. before planting the cuttings. Quick dip method is preferred. Cuttings after treating with IBA should be planted in the nursery or directly in the field.
