The study describes the effect of etiolation of stockplants on rooting ability to cuttings of Guava (Psidium guajava Linn.). Fifteen months old sun grown containerized stockplants of guava were etiolated in a darkroom. Cuttings from the etiolated and control stockplants were tested for rooting ability. The study revealed that the cuttings of the stockplants etiolated or controlled rooted well. However, etiolation or duration of etiolation does not significantly affect the rooting ability of cuttings of the species. During propagation, cutting morphology is not significantly changed due to the etiolation of the stockplants.
