Abstract
Introduction: Agarwood is a valuable and rare and valuable wood species. Planting Aquilaria to harvest Agarwood and Ky Nam.
Methods: It is successfully in micropropagation.
Results: WPM is a basic media, supplemented with BA (0.1 mg/l), NAA (0.1 mg/l), coconut water (10 %), high light intensity (34,2 mmol/m2/s) and enhance air exchange improve multiple rate in vitro. It grows well and induce healthy roots in in vitro and acclimatisation. Circle cultivation was confirmed in 45 days.
Conclusion: A flush out system under pilot scale of agarwood micropropagation was developed.
