The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of biochar and partial peeling of the stems to accelerate the germination of Mulberry ( Morus alba) cuttings. The experiment was designed as a 2*5 factorial in a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replicates. The factors were: Peeling of stem (P: Peeled, N: Not peeled); Biochar levels of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4% of the soil. Peeling was by scraping off the epidermis of the bottom 3cm of the stakes. The cuttings were planted in soil amended with the biochar in 2 liter capacity plastic bags. Peeling the bottom 3cm of cuttings of mulberry increased the rate of germination and the proportion of cuttings that developed into viable plants. Amending the soil with biochar improved the rate of germination of the mulberry cuttings as well as increasing pH and water holding capacity of the soil.
