The use of accurate cutting age in vegetative propagation is imperative in order to improve seeding quality of
some Jatropha genotypes. The objective of the research is to investigate the effect of cutting age from some
jatropha genotypes on seedling growth and development. Cuttings from primary, secondary and tertiary branchs
were grown and observed during seedling period and in the production field. The result showed that secondary
branch as a semi-hard wood cuttings could be the most effective propagation material of Jatropha curcas, and
followed by tertiary branch. All Jatropha genotypes of West Nusa Tenggara could be propagated using three types
of stem cutting
