Ten-week-old potted A. mangium seedlings were subjected to a growth retardant, paclobutrazol (PP333), at concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, 4 and 12 g/l. Four methods of application were tested namely S, soil drenching at week 0; Fl, foliar spray (potting soil protected from chemical) at week 0; F2, foliar spray (potting soil protected from chemical) at week 0 and 6; and S+F, soil and foliar spray (p...

Tomatoes are a horticultural commodity that has the potential to be developed because it high economic value and great export potential. The increase in tomato needs is often not offset by increased production so Indonesia been able meet of national tomatoes, addition issue food quantity shifted quality safety using natural ingredients. This study aims determine concentration paclobutrazol can ...

Under some cultivation conditions, excessive growth of the pseudostem of banana plants can be considered a limiting factor, and thus, the use of growth regulators can constitute a valid alternative. This work aimed to evaluate the action of paclobutrazol on the growth of the pseudostem of banana plants and other characteristics of their development. An experiment was installed with five paclobu...

La1-xSrxAlO3 (x=0 to 0.4) perovskite materials were synthesized by the reverse strike co-precipitation method and their soot oxidation activity was evaluated. All the catalysts synthesized were characterized using XRD, BET specific surface area, FESEM and XPS techniques. As analyzed by XRD, La1-xSrxAlO3 <...

If pesticide residues are detected at over the uniform limit (0.01 ppm) in processed foods, the maximum residue limits of pesticides in each ingredient should be considered. For that purpose, analysis of pesticide residues in the ingredients would be required, but in many cases it is difficult to obtain ingredients from the same lot, or the processed foods may have been manufactured overseas. T...

During greenhouse production in Spring 1995, conditioning treatments were applied to columbine (Aquilegia ×hybrida Sims ‘McKana Giants’), New Guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri Bull. ‘Antares’), marigold (Tagetes erecta L. ‘Little Devil Mix’) and ageratum (Ageratum houstonianum Mill. ‘Blue Puffs’) plants. Treatments included: mechanical conditioning (brushing 40 strokes twice daily); moisture ...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of paclobutrazol as an anti-gibberellin on some morpho-physiological characteristics of Petunia × grandiflora ‘Bravo Blue’, and determine the optimum concentration of paclobutrazol for drought resistance in this plant. The experiment was carried out as factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse. T...
