Abstract
This study consist of 5 treatments which included the planting of stem cutting of olive plant directly in the greenhouse or soaking the cutting in water for 24 hours ,the stem cutting buried in the sand for 24 hours ,planting directly with the addition of peat moss in the ratio of (1:1) Soaking in water for 24 hours with additional of peat moss in the ratio of (1:1) . The planting of stem cutting was carried using RCBD and the means were compared using Duncan test at a level of significant of 5% .all the stem cutting were treated with seradix b2 to stimulate the formation of root perimorada. Each cutting was then transplanted in separate polyethylene bag in the greenhouse. the percentage of rooting was recorded. the experimental results can be summarized as follow. Soaking olive stem cutting in water for 24 hours and planting directly significantly increased the percentage of rooting up to 38.75 as compared with the other treatments .soaking the cutting in water and planting with the addition of peat moss gave 30.78% while planting stem cutting directly gave 24.62% and buried cutting in sand gave 23.5% and soaking the cutting in water and adding peat moss gave 9.8% . The calculated F value was 5.013 which was superior than the tabulate F value 3,26 which indicated a significant differences between the treatments.
