Falcaria vulgaris has not been domesticated or cultivated so far. The natural habitats of the medicinal plant F. vulgaris are endangered due to the use of herbicides and excessive harvesting by local people. Also, due to its therapeutic and food applications, there is a need for protocols for the propagation of F. vulgaris. To address this need, the experiment was performed as a two-factor factorial based on a completely randomized design with expe rimental factors being the type of rhizome (whole rhizome, proximal end of rhizome, and distal end of rhizome) and the period of cold stratification (one week, two weeks, and three weeks). The survival rate, number of days to emergence, fresh and dry weight, and the number of leaves, leaf length, leaf area, and crown diameter were measured as growth parameters. The best overall yield, in terms of survival rate, number of days to emergence, fresh and dry weight, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf area, and crown diameter, was observed in the proximal end of the rhizome (8 cm) and the whole rhizome propagules subjected to three weeks of cold stratification.
