An experiment was conducted to identify the most appropriate plant growth regulators and genotypes for Jojoba propagation. A 4x4 factorial arrangement laid down in a randomized complete block design was used with 16 treatments replicated 3 times. Treatments comprised of 4 factors of growth regulators and 4 types of genotypes. The Th e experiment was carried out for 5 months in 2013. The variables sampled included roots, leaves and shoot. ANOVA was carried out using SAS statistical package and means were separated using Duncan , s Multiple Range Test at p ≤ 0.05. Results showed that Anatone Anat one growth regulator gave significantly superior rooting of 24.2% for cuttings compared with the control (11.5%). The male genotypes showed significantly higher rooting of 24.2 24.2-37.6% compared with the females (2.2-7.6%). (2.2 7.6%). Anatone is recommended for propagat propagation of cuttings in a polythene sheet tunnel since it is also cheap and readily available from agri agri-veterinary shops. Further research is recommended on screening of a wide range of genotypes especially the females and plant growth regulators for future propagation pro of JojobaenAnatoneGenotypesIndole butyric acidRoothomRooting hormonesAppropriate plant growth regulators and genotypes for propagation of jojoba (simmondsia simmondsia chinensis l.) cuttings in semi-arid areas of voi, KenyaArticle
