Growth of in vitro-raised sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Poir) cultures, expressed in terms of shoot height, root number and root length, was significantly retarded when the cultures were treated with higher concentrations of IBA. The 10 mg L−1 IBA supplemented media showed maximum retardation in shoot growth and drastically reduced the root proliferation both in number and lengths as compared to other treatments.
