The experiment was carried out using hardwood cuttings of blueberry from July to November 2012, in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The experimental unit consisted of 12 cuttings. Eight treatments were used, which resulted from the combinations of levels of three factors: Cultivar (two levels: Bluegem e Powderblue), IBA (two levels: with and without) and Pro-rooting (two levels: with and without). Cuttings were dipped in IBA solution (2.000 mg L-1) during 10 seconds and placed for rooting in trays containing fine grain size Vermiculita?? as substrate. Then, cuttings were kept in protected environment, under manual irrigation system. After 120 days, the cuttings were assessed for percentage of survival, rooting, with callus formation, number of roots, number of shoots, and length of the longest shoot and root. Interaction effect was not found among the treatments for any of the parameters. The percentage of cuttings with callus did not differ among treatments. In the other hand, Powderblue had a greater percentage of rooted cuttings than Bluegem (70.3 % and 49.0%, respectively). Bluegem cuttings had more roots and shoots than Powderblue, but roots and shoots of Powderblue cuttings were longer than Bluegem. The results show that using either IBA (2000 ppm L-1) or Pro-rooting did not improve the propagation of Bluegem and Powderblue blueberries using hardwood cuttings. Concluding, Powderblue blueberry has a better ability to be propagated through hardwood cuttings than Bluegem.  ablueberry  acuttings  apropagation  aVaccinium ashei1 aFERNANDES, G. W.1 aBORGES, E.
