An investigation on effect of month and IBA concentration on success of air layering in guava cv. Sardar at the Department of Fruit Science, Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot, during the period of 2012 - 2013. The results revealed that minimum days for root initiation (84 days), maximum number of roots (12.10), higher rooting (33.33 %) and survival percentage (100.00 %) in layers prepared in the month August applied with IBA-4000 ppm. Growth of these layers was vigorous as depicted by maximum number of sprouts (8.25), number of leaves (22.64) and shoot length (59.00 cm) at 90 days after separation from mother plant layers placed under shade house for hardening. This was followed by layers treated with IBA-3000 ppm prepared in August month. While in control, there was poor response for root initiation, rooting percentage and number of roots than all treatments.
