An experiment was conducted to ascertain the effect of source/or type of cuttings on the nursery stock of Jatropha curcas. Large and thicker cuttings gave significantly (P<0.05) more survival, height, root length, number of roots, sprouts and leaves as compared to smaller and thinner cuttings. Cuttings taken from the lower portion showed better results.
