An improvedin vitro mass propagation protocol was developed for Aerva lanata using MS liquid medium. The influence of MS medium (solid and liquid) with cytokinin (TDZ and BAP, respectively) were studied for shoot proliferation and growth. The liquid medium perfomed better than solid medium in shoot multiplication. The maximum shoot multiplication rate was (29.37
