3 MTP MTP is one of the largest tissue culture production units in north India with an annual production capacity of 1.5 million plants The facility is ISO 9001 certified and DBT, Govt. of India accredited reflecting the quality control and assurance of the lab Micropropagation protocols have been developed for over 90 species including, forestry species, fruit crops, cash crops, medicinal and aromatic plants, and ornamentals Over 19 million plants have so far been dispatched

4 MTP Large-scale multiplication of superior clones of various species using tissue culture Mass propagation of species that are difficult to regenerate by conventional methods Clonal fidelity of tissue cultured plants is ensured through periodic testing by molecular markers TC plants are further fortified with suitable mycorrhiza for better establishment in the field and improved growth
