This study was carried out in Çanakkale province (Northwestern Anatolia) in 2020-2021 to determine the field performances of lavender cuttings rooted using appropriate auxin doses and rooting media in the propagation of lavender, which has high industrial and commercial value, by cuttings. In the study, cuttings of Hemus, Sevtopolis and Drujba varieties of Lavandula angustifolia species and Super A variety of Lavandula intermedium species were used. Lavender and lavandin cuttings rooted using appropriate auxin doses (Indol Butyric Acid 2000 ppm and Naphthalene Acetic Acide 1000 ppm) and rooting media (soil, peat and cocopeat) were transferred to the field and some morphological and agronomic characters were determined in the first plantation year. In the field study, the highest plant height (59.13 cm) value was obtained from Lavandula angustifolia var. Drujba variety rooted with cocopeat medium and NAA 1000 ppm dose. The highest values for the number of branches per plant (20.50 pieces), essential oil ratio (4.54%) and essential oil yield (1.15 kg/da) were obtained from L.x intermedia var. Super A variety rooted with cocopeat medium and NAA 1000 ppm dose. As a result of the field study, the Super A variety of the Lavandula intermedia species, rooted with cocopeat medium and NAA 1000 ppm dose, was found to be suitable for the ecology of the region (North-Western Anatolia).
