Abstract: In order to estimate the highly-efficient cutting technology for Callicarpa nudiflora. In the present study, the cutting technology of C. nudiflora was studied, including select the optimum age of cuttings, the cuttings diameter and study on the effect of rooting powder. The results showed that: the cuttings with two years old and 0.6-0.8 cm diameter had the highest rooting percent, up to 38.6% and 53.6%, respectively; the rooting percent could be remarkably increased by using the rooting powders studied, of which ABT7 was the best one with the highest rooting rate of 94.6%. The cutting age and diameter of C. nudiflora had significant effect on cutting rooting percent, which the cuttings with two years old and 0.6-0.8 cm diameter had the highest rooting percent; the cutting roots of C. nudiflora could be significantly promoted by the ABT6, ABT7 and ABD, of which ABT7 had the best effect.
