Abstract: Centella asiatica L. is an important herbal medicinal plant, abundant in Jharkhand. It is considered a brain tonic and also a good wound healer. The study was conducted to determine the most suitable explant and different concentrations of IBA for adventitious root induction. The detailed study of adventitious root induction has been performed by varying the concentration of IBA in the range of (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 2.0) mg/l. The highest percentage of explants forming adventitious roots, number of roots per explant, and longest roots generated from leaf explant were observed in the concentration of 1.5 mg /l IBA, Tap roots were also observed in nodal explant.
