Abstract
Well developed protocorm- like of Dendrobiunz crepidatum Lindl. and Paxt. obtained via shoot tip cultures were encapsulated in alginate, MS basal medium and MS medium supplemented with growth regulators. Encapsulated plb's upon transferring either to nutrient medium or directly on sterile sand regenerated healthy plantlets. Multiple shoots were formed in MS basal medium supplemented with NAA (0.5 mg/1) and BAP (0.5mg/1) .55% encapsulated plb's germinated on sterile sand under in vivo condition.
