Nodal segments containing axillary buds of Ficus benghalensis L. were induced to produce a large number of multiple shoots by culturing on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 BA+ 0.1 NAA (mg/L) and 20% (v/v) coconut milk. Excised shoots from this culture were rooted best on ½ MS medium fortified with 0.5 mg/L IBA. The complete plantlets thus obtained were successfully transferred to soil.
