Abstract

Albizia procera is a multipurpose tree of immense potential in forestry pursuits. In this very difficult-to-root species, lack of adventitious rhizogenesis in shoot cuttings creates problem in clonal propagation and mass multiplication. However, significant adventitious rooting has been achieved in softwood juvenile cuttings taken from seedlings. Low concentration (100 ppm) of IBA enhances induction and growth of adventitious roots. The technique would help in clonal propagation of Albizia procera especially in case of half-sib progenies of selected superior genotypes and hybrids of known parentage.
