Two greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the rooting of terminal cuttings of Solanum quitoense Lan. The cuttings were treated with indol butiric acid and naftalenacetic acid in doses of 500 and 1500 ppm and then planted in scum and rice shell as soil substrates. The number of primary and secondary roots, the lenght and diameter of the primary roots, and the root dry weight were taken 50 days after planting. The most roots, was found when the cuttings were dipped in 1500 ppm of indolbutiric acid and planted in scum. Probably, the combination of the right amount of the hormone applied and the high water retention of the substrate was the best for the rooting.
