Abstract

Rooting of air layers of Bael (Aegle marmelos C.) has been successfully induced by applying IBA 10,000 ppm in the etiolated shoots. Maximum rooting (80–90%) and maximum survival were obtained by treating the etiolated shoots with IBA 10,000 ppm. Invigoration treatment also indicates promise.
