Saraca asoca (Roxb.) De Wilde is one of the endangered medicinal plants of Western
Ghats. An experiment was carried out to standardize seed and vegetative propagation for
this very important medicinal plant. Among the different germination inducing treatments,
the seed treated with GA3 200 ppm recorded early germination (23.73), highest
germination rate (2.95%), seedling vigour (6315.10), seedling height (68.40 cm), fresh
weight (16.00 g) and dry weight of seedling (8.47 g). In case of vegetative propagation,
hard wood cuttings and air layering was carried out. Cuttings treated with IBA2000 ppm
had a significant positive effect on the percentage of rooting (33.41), sprouting (33.70) and
number of days taken for sprouting (23.00). In air layering branches treated with IBA 2500
ppm had a significant influence on rooting (88.07%) number of days taken for root
initiation (32.00), root diameter (3.53 mm), number of primary roots per layer (6.00),
number of secondary roots per layer (40.17) and root length (13.03 cm). Results will be
highly useful for large scale for large scale multiplication of the plant
