[Objective] The effects of different matrix formulations and NAA concentrations on the growth of roots and survival rate of rosemary cuttings were investigated. [Method] The randomized block design was adopted. There were 9 formulations of matrix and 4 concentrations of NAA in the test. The survey and determination data was analyzed by Excel. [Result] For rosemary cuttings, the roots of Treatment 7 (turfy soil:perlite=3:2) had the best growth with the highest survival rate of nearly 100%. The roots of rosemary cuttings had the best growth for 150 mg/L of NAA with the highest survival rate of 88.9%. [Conclusion] For rosemary cuttings, the optimal matrix formulation was turfy soil:perlite=3:2, and the optimal NAA concentration was 150 mg/L. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
