-1 of BA with 1 mgl -1 of IBA, a mean of 20 lateral branches per stem was induced which was the best combination recorded. Even though IAA particularly combined with 2ip or kinetin, it had weak shoot multiplication influence resulting in only two lateral shoots which increased to 7 lateral shoots per stem when combined with BA. The plant height was negatively affected by the increase of cytokinin concentration. However, the control plant was more in length than any of the cytokinin treatments among combination with IBA or IAA.
