Abstract

A pilot study was conducted in order to evaluate efficacy and economy of large-scale production of clonal plantlets of Teak. Semi-hardwood shoot cuttings taken from vegetative multiplication garden were treated with low doses of composite auxins (IAA, IBA and NAA) in combination with thiamine. Strong synergistic interaction between thiamine and auxins was observed for adventitious rhizogenesis, as the resultant increment in adventitious rhizogenesis due to combined auxin and thiamine application was several folds greater than from the independent application of auxins and thiamine alone. Treatment of 1200/800 ppm thiamine with a combined dose of auxins (250 ppm IBA, 125 ppm IAA and 125 ppm NAA) proved to be the most effective for rooting with increment of 4.85 and 4.79 times, respectively over the control. These treatments have been recommended for production of clonal planting stock of Teak on mass scale in open non-misting conditions.
