This study was conducted over two periods to collect and prepare grape (Black Magic cv.) cuttings during (2022 and 2023) to evaluate the best practices for obtaining the best grape cuttings, and seedlings, then enhancing grape production. The experiments were conducted on private farm in the Jabal Al-Akhdar area of Al-Bayda, Libya. An experiment was conducted with three concentration levels of IBA at 0 (control), 1000 ppm, and 2000 ppm, in three various rooting media (clay soil, sand + sheep manure, and Peat moss), at two different dates for grape cuttings collecting and cultivating in (January, and February). Two months later of treated and planting grape cuttings, percentage of successful cuttings, shoot length, roots number, leaves number, root dry weight, leaves dry weight, and leaf area, were measured during study period.
The obtained results, showed that the best rooting performance was obtained when grape cuttings planted in Peatmoss treated pre planting by 2000 ppm IBA, during the first date of preparation and planting cuttings (during January).
