Tresor during the year 2017-18. The trial was conducted in a randomized block design with ten treatments in four replications. The treatments comprised of foliar application of GA3 at 50ppm alone and in combination with BA at 50 ppm, GA3 at 75ppm with BA at 75 ppm, Chlormequat chloride alone at 75ppm, 100ppm, 125 ppm concentration and in combination with GA3 at 50ppm and a control (water spray). The result revealed that application of 50 ppm GA3 significantly increased the plant height (72.32 cm), number of leaves per plant (81.58) & leaf length (11.57 cm), advanced the days to bud appearance (19.37 days), bud break (45.75 days) & first flowering (46.12 days) whereas basal stem diameter (2.1 cm) was significantly higher with application of 125 ppm Chlormequat chloride. Application of 125 ppm Chlormequat chloride & 50 ppm GA3 significantly enhanced the number of flowers per plant (3.66), bloom life of individual flower (7.66 days), bloom life of whole spike (15.24 days) and vase life (14.57 days).Read More
