In order to investigate the effect of KIBA and kind of cutting on rooting of Yew (Taxus baccata), 4 different levels of KIBA (0, 25, 50 and 75 mg/l) and 3 different kinds of cutting (upper, middle and lower) were studied. Results showed that the highest rate of rooting was observed by application of 75mg/l KIBA. Also the upper cuttings showed the highest rate of rooting and survival after 23 weeks.
