Abstract
Application of IBA (0, 1000, 2000, and 3000 ppm) and thiamine (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 ppm) alone or in all possible combinations, was investigated for induction and growth of adventitious roots in branch cuttings of teak (Tectona grandis). Of these, 1000 ppm IBA and 600 ppm thiamine alone or 1000 ppm IBA × 800 ppm thiamine significantly promoted various characteristics of adventitious roots. However, a very strong synergism between IBA and thamine was observed, as the effect of 1000 ppm IBA × 800 ppm thiamine was several fold more pronounced than that of individual application of IBA or thiamine in induction and growth of adventitious roots. Therefore, administration of 1000 ppm IBA × 800 ppm thiamineis recommended for clonal propagation of teak on a large scale.
