Abstract

The experiment was carried out for micropropagation of guava (Psidium guajava L.) multiplication using different media. Shoot tip explants were found to be better than nodal and intermodal explants. Highest percentage of shoot tip proliferation was observed in MS media containing BAP (0.4mg/l) and for shoot differentiation from callus BAP (2.0mg/l) + NAA (0.25mg/l) was the best. IBA (0.4mg/l) and NAA (0.2mg/l) was noted the best treatment for root induction.
