Experiment was conducted to study the impact of different growth regulators on chipping of cv. Bean vite. Vermiculite was used as growing media in all the treatments. MH(20,40ppm), IBA (50,100 ppm) and Kinetin (50,100ppm) were tested as sources of PGR’s with an aim to know their influence on bulbil formation. Among the different growth regulators used, best results were recorded in bulbs treated with IBA 100 ppm while as Low success rate was recorded in bulbs treated with kinetin 50 ppm. Most of the variations were statistically significant among the treatments.
