Abstract: To decide the effect of different vines cuttings, the growth and yield of the different vine cuttings with 30 cm long of sweet potato were evaluated. The result showed that both the number of branches and the yield of first section (top section) and the second section (middle section) were significantly higher than the third section (base section). So, the first and second sections should be chosen for sweet potato cuttage rather than the base sections. It was recommended that the first section (top section) and the second section (middle section) should not be mixed with the third section (base section) when planting sweet potato vine cuttings. This result could provide useful information for sweet potato production.
