Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to propagate Boswellia serrata Roxb., an important pharmaceutical species, through seeds and branch cuttings to develop a method of propagation adoptable to the personnel working in forest nurseries. Successful rooting and leaves emergences was achieved through branch cuttings of up to 1m length and 4 cm diameter planted 15 cm deep into the potting mixture.
