EFFECT OF ADJUVANT ON IN VITRO SHOOT PRODUCTION OF AZADIRACHTA INDICA

Abstracts

Different adjuvant showed variation in shoot proliferation rate during in vitro propagation of Azadirachta indica (Neem). Shoot proliferation is a crucial stage of in vitro propagation for commercial viability of the technique. Maximum shoot proliferation occurred from nodal explants of 1-year-old plants placed on Driver & Kuniyuki medium (1984) containing 0.22 µM 6-benzyladenine and 500 mg/l polyvinyl pyrrollidone. It is estimated that, using this protocol, more than 15,000 shoots can be produced within 9 months from a single node, of 1-year-old plant of Neem.
