Abstract: The objective of this study was to standardize type of terminal stem cuttings for propagation of patchouli in different environmental conditions. The experiment was carried out in factorial completely randomized design with three replications. The factor 1 comprising of two treatments i.e terminal cuttings with retention of leaf and without retention of leaf and factor 2 i.e 7 different growing environmental conditions. The result revealed that number of roots per cutting (12.33), cumulative root length (25.93 cm), average root length (1.98 cm) and survival percentage (70.95) were significantly higher when leaves were retained on stem cuttings at 45 DAP. The cuttings raised under polytunnel in shade house condition recorded maximum number of roots per cutting (17.43) and cumulative root length (31.75 cm). The maximum survival percentage (90.00) was recorded under polytunnel maintained in poly house condition.
