Method of Vegetative Propagation of Jatropha Curcas L

The present invention is a method of vegetative propagation of Jatropha Curcas L. which includes the steps of treating viable plants with a shoot stimulator to initiate shoots, sterilizing the harvested shoots, treating the harvested shoots with a root stimulator and then planting the treated shoots. The shoot stimulator is preferably a synthetic plant hormone solution such as a solution of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The apical shoots are then harvested and sterilized in a cleansing solution before treating with the root stimulator. The root stimulator consists of an auxin in combination with Benzylaminopurine, thiamine, chelated iron, and mono sodium glutamate. The treated shoots are then planted to produce new plants.
