Abstract
The present study was carried out to determine the optimum time of insertion of Populus deltoides cuttings in nursery. Among the various planting dates tried, cuttings inserted during first fortnight of January and first fortnight of February produced plants of maximum mean height and basal diameter, respectively. Minimum plant height and diameter was recorded when cuttings were inserted during first fortnight of March. The results of present study suggested that poplar cuttings should be planted in nursery during first fortnight of February.
