<p>Cotyledonary nodes of <em>Ficus auriculata </em>(a popular fodder tree in Nepal) were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with benzylaminopurine (1 mg/litre) and NAA (0. 01 mg/litre) to induce shoot formation. Shoots were subcultured every 8-10 wk. Microshoots were dipped in IAA solution (100 p.p.m.) and rooted in a mixture of sand and powdered dry leaves. One micropropagated plant has survived in the field at Godawari, Nepal, for 6 months.</p>
