This work had the objective to evaluate the minicutting technique as a method for vegetative propagation of cedro-rosa (Cedrela fissilis), in terms of the production and survival of the ministumps after successive harvesting, as well as rooting and growth (height and root collar diameter) of the minicuttings. The minicuttings were obtained from seedlings of Cedrela fissilis, successively collected and submitted to different dosages of the growth regulator IBA. The results showed the efficiency of this technique in the vegetative propagation of this species. Up to 79% survival was obtained at 120 days of age, but when IBA was not applied, survival was higher. Overall, minicutting of Cedrela fissilis from material of seminal origin is technically viable. Its is an alternative method for producing seedlings of this species throughout the year, mainly when seeds are unavailable.
