IAA and IBA alone found less effective at same concentration with 6.3 ± 0.6 and 9.6 ± 0.57 roots per shoot, respectively. IAA was found less effective than IBA for rooting. In all media with plant growth regulator used in the present study, a single axillary shoot was invariably produced with moderate friable callusing at the cut tissue surface in direct contact with the medium.
