Trial Rates for the Basal Quick Dip Method
A wide solution trial
rate range is indicated for the Basal Quick Dip Method.
• Make rooting solutions using Hortus IBA Water
Soluble Salts®
• Your ideal rates will vary according to specific plant variety, season, quality of the
cuttings, and local growing conditions.
• Prior to large scale production, test a few
plants at several rates within the range.
• Use the trial rate charts as a starting point.
• Use on cuttings in the
growing season and winter dormant cuttings.
• Immerse basal end of
cuttings approximately 1" in Rooting Solution for about five seconds.
• Stick immediately or
store.
TRIAL RATES are ppm IBA using Water-based Hortus IBA Water

Some cuttings are hard-to-root. This may be caused by
the condition of the cuttings, the maturity of the cuttings, or the timing when
cuttings are taken.
Some growers ‘think’ the answer is to use a high rooting hormones rate.
They usually get in-consistent rooting or no roots at all.
A better answer is to use the Basal Long Soak Method. Even
though low rates are used, the cuttings have more rooting hormone stored at the
basal end so that rooting is successful.
