Stevia rebaudiana Bert., one of the important medicinal plants was subjected to in vitro multiplication. Present study shows a brief review of micropropagation of Stevia rebaudiana by using various basal salts that is Murashige and Skoog (1962) (MS), ½ Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, Schenk and Hildebrantdt (S & H) medium supplemented with different concentration of BAP at (0.0, 0.5 and1.0 mg/l) or concentration of NAA at (0.0, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/l) was investigated on in vitro shoot multiplication of Stevia rebaudiana (Bert.) using shoot tip explants. The best results were obtained from S & H medium supplemented with BAP concentration of 1.0 mg/l respectively for shoot multiplication. For other characters viz; Average number of shoots and length of shoot, S & H was better than other basal salt and gave highest callus growth.
