Abstract

It was easier to establish shoot tip and nodal segment explants on solid MS medium from 2 year old mother trees. Shoot tips taken from juvenile plants gave better results with BAP (0.4 mg/l) by way of maximum number of shoots, while higher concentration of BAP (0.6 mg/l) was required I n mature tree explants. IBA (0.2 mg/l) evoked 100 and 93.33 per cent rooting in shoot tip and nodal segments, respectively, in 2 year old and the IBA (0.6 mg/l) gave maximum rooting per cent in the 12 year old trees.
