  • <p>This dataset presents the results of an experiment conducted to evaluate the effects of <strong>natural (Aloe vera and honey) and synthetic (Rootex – Indole-3-butyric acid, IBA) rooting agents</strong> on the <strong>rooting efficiency, vegetative growth, and tuberization of Irish potato (Solanum tuberosum) stem cuttings</strong>.</p> <p>Stem cuttings were treated with the three agents under controlled field conditions, and key parameters were measured, including <strong>root survival rate, number and length of roots, shoot growth, and number of tubers produced</strong>. The data provide insights into the potential of Aloe vera and honey as <strong>eco-friendly, low-cost alternatives to synthetic rooting hormones</strong>, supporting rapid multiplication of clean potato planting material.</p>
