There is inadequate information on the application of rootstocks in the propagation of pomegranate. The aim of this research was to study propagation of pomegranate using the stenting method. The experiment was conducted on the basis of a completely randomised design (CRD) with two factors: rootstock (R1, R2 and R3) and the concentration of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA)(0 and 500 mg/l), in three replications. The rootstocks were ‘Gorj-e-Dadashi’(R1),‘Gorj-e-Shahvar’(R2) and ‘Gool Safid-e-Ashk-e-Zar’(R3), and the scions were of the cultivar Malas-e-Yazdi. The results indicated that rootstock type and IBA treatment influenced bud-take and root formation. The highest bud-take percentage was obtained with R1 in combination with 500 mg/l IBA.
