This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of a range of concentrations of indole-3-butric acid (IBA) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on performance of Black Mulberry cuttings. The concentrations used were IBA (200, 400, 600) and (2000, 4000, 6000), NAA (200, 400, 600) and (2000, 4000, 6000). Two methods of dipping, quick dipping and slow dipping, were adopted. Hard wood cuttings were used. The highest leaf length was obtained by 200 ppm NAA and 600 ppm IBA. NAA 6000 ppm gave the highest number of rooted cuttings. The control gave the largest number of branches. No significant differences in leaf length and root length. As for the number of roots, the best result was given by 6000 ppm IBA.
