Effect of Growth Regulators, Invigoration and Etiolation on Rooting of Air Layers of Bael (Aegle Marmelos Corre)

Rooting of air layers of Bael (Aegle marmelos C.) has been successfully induced by applying IBA 10,000 ppm in the etiolated shoots. Maximum rooting (80–90%) and maximum survival were obtained by treating the etiolated shoots with IBA 10,000 ppm. Invigoration treatment also indicates promise.
