Clonal propagation through stem cuttings and air layering in Dysoxylum malabaricum Bedd. ex Hiern. is presented here. The highest rooting of 80% was achieved with the use of IBA -1000 ppm from tender stem cuttings of 10-15 years old plant and air layering success was also found to be 90% by the use of IBA 1000 ppm from same age of plants used for stem rooting.
