Litsea glutinosa (Maida Lakri), Macro-proliferation Technique.

Abstract

Seed germination ofLitsea glutinosa was completed within six weeks with 30.04 p er cent germination in nursery conditions. However, seeds treated with gibbereiiins (500 ppm) gave 41.48 p er cent germination under controlled conditions. Two years old plants were fit for planting out in the field. Air - layering trials were carried out during March to May and developed the callus but rooting was not initiated. Shoot cuttings prepared fromjuveniie plants gave 43.00 percent rooting. Macro - proliferation technique was developed formass multiplication of this endangered species which is found cost - effective, eco - friendly and innovative.
