The objective of the present work was to verify the action of IBA and hydrogen cyanamide in the rooting of fig tree apical cuttings 'Roxo de Valinhos'. Woody cutting of apical portion was collected in the end of first fifteen days of July, standardized with 20 cm of length and seven millimeters of diameter. The cutting was treated or not with 2000 mg L-1 of IBA for 10 seconds. Soon after, the cuttings were buried in bed of sand humidified in nursery conditions with 50% of brightness. Immediately after the plantation, five cm of the apex of the cutting was painted with a brush, with different hydrogen cyanamide concentrations: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 mL L-1. After 60 days, the percentage of alive, rooted, sprouted, the medium number of the sprouting and roots, besides the medium length of the sprouting were evaluated. A sampling of each treatment was transplanted for plastic sacks with capacity of 3 L (30 x 18 cm), filled with substrate the base of pinus peel, preserving a unique sprouting for cutting. The 30, 60 and 90 days after the transplantation, the medium length of the sprouting was evaluated. It was concluded that the cutting apical fig tree 'Roxo de Valinhos' should be treated with 2000 mg L-1 of IBA and 10 mL L-1 of hydrogen cyanamide.
