The basal cut end of coppice shoot cuttings of Pongamia pinnata was treated for 24 h with 0 (water treated control) or 5.0 mmol/L of KMnO 4, KCl, and KH 2PO 4 or 2.5 mmol/L of K 2HPO 4 and K 2SO 4. Inorganic salts of P, S, Cl and Mn significantly influenced IAA ionization and adventitious rhizogenes...
