Abstract
Present study deals with standardization of vegetative propagation technique in woody pepper, a promising spice from the Andaman Islands. Effect of two node and three node cuttings was compared with serpentine layering for plant growth parameters, survival percentage and photosynthetic pigments. The highest survival percentage (100%) was observed in serpentine layering after 47 and 75 d of operations, while the mortality percentage increased in both the stem cutting methods studied during this period. The method, being simple, could be adopted by the farmers also. Considering the ever-increasing demand for the spice in the islands, the serpentine method could be of great practical help in its mass multiplication.
