Bell pepper has become a major vegetable crop in India and is widely produced under open as well as protected environments and yields remunerative returns. Growing hybrid bell pepper from seed is an expensive affair, hence, there is a need to find out an efficient technique of vegetative propagation of bell pepper plants. Rooting hormone IBA is the most commonly utilized plant hormone for promoting root development and generating new roots in tomato plants propagated through stem cuttings. The analysis of variance revealed that effect of different concentrations of rooting hormone (IBA), and honey on different sized stem cuttings was significant for number of days to root initiation, number of roots per cutting, total root length (cm), root volume (cm3) and survival percentage. A significant impact on the days to root initiation (10.07 days), maximum number of roots per cutting (22.20), increase in root length (166.47cm), highest survival percentage of stem cutting (75%) and maximum root volume (2.20cm3) were observed in treatment RH1C2S3 (RH1=IBA, C2=100 ppm and S3=15cm). All treatments resulted in a considerable improvement in all root parameters.Keywords
