The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of the 3-indolbutiric acid (IBA) on the rooting and development of semi-hardwood cuttings of kiwi, cv. Monty. The experiment was carried out at the Staccatos Experimental Agronomical/UFRGS in Eldorado do Soul. RS, Brazil with five treatments and five repetitions, in completely randomized blocks design. There were 19 bags per pilot with two cuttings per plastic bag grow in a catty: sane manure mixture (1:1:1) and treated by /BA at the concentrations of 2000ppm, 4000ppm, 6000ppm and 8000ppm. In addition to the contrail. IBA did not affect the rooting percentage but resulted in a linear increase of the mean root dry weight. Shoot development was not affected by the IBA. Buy there was a tendency for a linear increase of shoot length and dry weight in response to IBA concentrations above 2000 ppm.
