Resumen

Plants of the Pelargonium genus are widely distributed throughout the world, not only because of the beauty and durability of their inflorescences but also because of their adaptability to different environmental conditions. However, it is necessary to understand the most suitable types of cuttings for propagating this species and to evaluate the influence of indole-3-butyric acid on this process in order to support more efficient practices in the production of vigorous, high-quality seedlings. In this regard, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the hormone IBA applied to different sections of the plant stem on the formation of viable pelargonium cuttings. To this end, cuttings were collected from three sections of the stem of pelargonium plants apical-, median- e basal-cutting portions, with and without the application of the hormone IBA. The application of IBA to the plants positively influenced the roots, stem, leaves, and inflorescence of Pelargonium. Cuttings derived from the apical portion showed the most favorable results, while those from the basal sections achieved satisfactory growth only when treated with IBA, highlighting its potential as an effective strategy to enhance propagation efficiency and improve plant performance.
