In vitro clonal propagation of Achyranthes aspera L. and Achyranthes bidentata Blume using nodal explants

The results have shown that use of nodal buds is an alternative reproducible and dependable method for clonal propagation of A. aspera and A. bidentata. The high rate of direct shoot-root multiplication and their high rate of post-hardening survival indicate that this protocol can be easily adopted for commercial large scale cultivation.
