Five levels of IBA concentrations i.e. control, 50ppm, 100ppm, 150ppm and 200ppm were applied to guava layered branches during four different date of transplanting. Data showed that different parameters such as number of days to root appearance, root length, number of roots, shoot length, number of shoots, number of leaves, leaf area, chlorophyll contents and percentage survival of plants were significantly affected. Higher success percentage was noted in layering treated with 200 ppm of IBA, detached 4^th week as compared to control in 1^st week. Maximum root length, number of roots, shoot length, number of shoots, number of leaves, leaf fresh weight , leaf area, chlorophyll contents except number of days to root appearance were noted in 200 ppm in fourth week. While minimum root length, number of roots, shoot length, number of shoots, number of leaves , leaf fresh weight, leaf area, chlorophyll contents and percentage survival of mother plant except number of days to root appearance were noted in control in 1^st week. Therefore IBA improve all the morphological traits of guava and thus 200 ppm of IBA is recommended for better growth and development. The main idea of the study was to use the treatment of IBA for the improvement of rooting. For this purpose, we tried to improve rooting of guava using IBA and vegetative propagation. Also it will save the time of the breeder to produce true to type plants.
