In vitro rooting was significantly increased by adding indolebutyric acid (IBA) to medium and rooting was improved by adding ١,٠ g/L activated charcoal or ٠,١ g/L polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Indoleacetic acid (IAA) (٠,٠ to ٤,٠ mg/L) was not effective for rooting except when used with ٠,١ g/L PVP. A ٩٥٪ survival was achieved when plants were acclimatized ex vitro. Such procedures could help significantly in clonally propagating bitter almond and conserving its germplasm.
