Effects of doses of gibberellic acid (GA3) were studied on the growth and performance of strawberry cultivar ‘Chandler’. GA3 was applied as foliar spray at three leaf stages @ 50, 75, 100 and 150 ppm. The applied GA3 @ 150 ppm significantly increased the plant height, leaf area index (LAI), crown size and fruit yield. However, this dose of GA3 (150 ppm) significantly decreased the shelf life an...

Background: Plant growth regulators (PGRs) have important roles in many processes such as germination, seedling growth, nutrition uptake, morphogenesis, ripening, etc. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of gibberellic acid, indole butyric acid, and methanol as plant growth regulators on morpho-physiological and phytochemical features in Thymus vulgaris L. Methods: The farm...

The experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of GA3, 2,4-D on fruit growth and fruit quality of wax apple. The experiment consisted of Red A, Monulla, Atu, Red B cultivars. GA3 and 2,4-D were applied at the small bud and petal fall stage. Physiological, biochemical characters of fruit were recoded. The result showed application of GA3, 2,4-D greatly response in increasing fruit set for a...

Gentiana lutea L. is widely used in bitter beverages and in medicine; Gentianae Radix is the pharmaceutical name of the root of G. lutea. These uses have generated a high demand. The wild populations of Gentiana lutea var. aurantiaca (M. Laínz) M. Laínz have been decimated; it is necessary to establish guidelines for its cultivation. Gentian as most alpine species has dormant seeds. Dormancy ca...

Seven seed borne fungi were isolated from sugar beet seeds viz. Alternaria alternata, Helminthosporium sp., Rhizopus stolonifer, Epicoccum sp., Rhizoctonia solani, Phoma betae and Fusarium oxysporium f. sp. betae. The last three fungi were found internal, while the others were external on seed surface. The internal fungi caused root-rot disease to sugar beet plants. Tre11tment of seeds with eac...

Date palm plantlets derived from tissue culture suffer from slow rate of growth. Large sizes, of such plantlets, are also sold for higher price. Thus, producers and growers are demanding a method to stimulate the growth rate of these plantlets regenerated by tissue culture. In this study, gibberellic acid was applied alone at 100 ppm or informulations at 50 ppm. Phosphoric acid at 1%, v,v and u...

Increasing winter wheat seedling growth would make it a better winter cover crop. Gibberellic acid (GA3) seed treatment may accomplish this by stimulating stem growth. A bioassay, mimicking field conditions, could determine the relative sensitivity of conventional and semi-dwarf cultivars. In growth chambers set for cool (10 ̊C/4 ̊C) and warm (21 ̊C/4 ̊C) conditions, wheat seeds were treated with 0...

Noni juice processing industry depends explicitly on the quality of noni fruits and its together with increased production fruits. This study evaluated effects chemical treatments noni's fruiting capacity, fruit yield antioxidant properties. plants in stage were foliar fed boric acid (BA) at a concentration 100 ppm or 200 ppm, gibberellic (GA3) 20 40 sucrose solution 5 20% water (control). Chan...

The experiment included four levels of NAA, 10, 20, 30, and 40 ppm, GA3, administered topically evaluated in comparison to a control (water spray). measurements several parameters, such as fruit set, size, volume, weight 100 fruits, yield per plant, hectare, were made. According the experiment, GA3 at ppm enhanced weight, volume yield. Combining NAA+GA3 proved effective improving yield, quality...

An experimental trial was carried out during the season from March 2018 – June at Horticulture farm of Lovely Professional University, Phagwara (Punjab). utilising a randomised block design, consists three replications. The current study included eleven treatments, including control with different PGR dosages Maleic hydrazide (200, 250, and 300 ppm, MH), Naphthalene acetic acid (50, 100, 150ppm...
