 ABSTRACT

The experiment entitled “Effect of different propagating media and PGPRs on  rooting of stem cuttings in Sarpagandha (Rauvolfia tetraphylla)" was conducted with 8 treatments in CRD design replicated for four times., The  cuttings raised in Red soil + sand + vermicompost + VAM + PSB + Pseudomonas fluroscens were significantly higher as they took minimum days for rooting and recorded maximum sprouting, number of roots(10.47), root volume(3.53cc) and survival rate (50 %) compared to all other treatments. So it is better to raise cuttings in Red soil + sand + vermicompost + VAM + PSB + Pseudomonas fluroscens.

Key words: Rauvolfia tetraphylla, VAM + PSB + Pseudomonas fluroscens.
