Late-season height control of poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is difficult since most chemical growth retardants adversely reduce bract size when applied after first bract color. Paclobutrazol (Bonzi) controls stem elongation late in poinsettia crop development but can excessively reduce bract size if improperly applied. Two experiments were conducted to quantify how paclobutrazol applicatio...

Flowering is the first of several events that lay foundation for mango production every year. The temperatures below 15°C readily promote floral induction. Decrease in temperature 20 0C common sub-tropical regions but seldom occurs many tropical ones. So, an alternative strategy optimum flower initiation under condition essentially required increasing productivity plant. Among different strateg...

The aim of this research was to study the effect of paclobutrazol pretreatment on the changes of antioxidative enzymes and antioxidants in the flooding-stressed sweetpotato Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. ‘Tainung 57’ was grown in plastic boxes in a screenhouse and maintained in optimal water conditions for 45 days followed by PBZ treatments (0 and 0.5 mg/plant) for 1 day. Then flooding was induced b...

Lilies are one of the most extensively sold cut flowers due to their quantity and variety colours [1]. This this study aims at development bulbs from microbulblets by use different bio-enhancers growth substances decrease time for bulblet bulb ontogenic development. The experiment was carried out in Department Horticulture, Sikkim University year 2016-2017 find effect bio enhancers on enhanceme...

In general, lodging has been controlled by restricting nitrogen fertilizer application and/or using short cultivars. Growth retardants can also be used to solve this problem.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of rates and application times of three growth retardants on Pioneiro wheat cultivar. The trial was carried out in Viçosa-MG, from May to September 2005, in a factorial...

The present investigation entitled “Regulation of growth, fruiting and biochemical characteristics in Fuji Zehn Aztec Red Braeburn apple cultivars through application growth retardants under high density planting system” was conducted the Experimental Block Division Fruit Science at Sher-e-Kashmir University Agricultural Sciences & Technology Kashmir, Shalimar campus, Srinagar (J&K) dur...

ABSTRACT Some vegetables have been used as an innovation in the ornamental plant market, such cauliflower, which has well-defined morphological traits. This study aimed to evaluate effect of paclobutrazol, applied via soil, order produce cauliflower for purposes. The design was completely randomized with five treatments and seven replicates. consisted doses growth regulator paclobutrazol (PBZ) ...

abstract growth retardants are new chemical organic compounds that increase period of flowering, leave chlorophyll, lateral shoot number, flower number and decrease vegetative growth. they also increase dry, cold and heat tolerance. paclobutrazol and cycocel are examples of these compounds. this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of paclobutrazol and cycocel on some quantitative and qua...
