Abstract
Cacao is an economically important crop that is currently planted in Asia, Africa, and America. Cuttings is a technique of vegetative propagation suitable for the conservation of selected desirable characteristics in cacao trees. The objective of this study was to evaluate the rooting of cacao cuttings in mini-tunnels with different doses of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) to obtain a simple and viable vegetative propagation protocol. The experiment was carried out under a completely randomized design (CRD). Cuttings 5 to 7 cm long were collected from the middle area of cacao tree crowns and treated with doses of 0, 1000, 2000, and 3000 ppm of IBA; then they were placed in Jiffy.
