- Production of virus-free planting material and shoot tip grafting in citrus a commercial.
- Virus elimination through meristem culture has been standardized in potato and taro.
- High frequency reproducible protocols for rapid propagation of rose, carnation, gerbera, orchids, chrysanthemum and gladiolus developed.
- In vitro propagation protocols available for different MAPs like Rauvolfia serpentine (Sarpgandha), Dioscorea floribunda, Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary), Azadirachta indica, Stevia sp., Celastrus paniculatus Willd.
- Aloe vera, geraniums, neem, Pathouli, Stevia sp. etc. Protocols developed are not commercially successful but need refinement in coconut, areca nut and cashew
- Protocols standardized for micro-propagation of superior tea, coffee and rubber clones
