Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Exogenous phytohormone application was evaluated as a growth stimulator for fibre yield of C.olitorius (Var. O-9897) at the central station of BJRI in a pot experiment. Seeds were sown on May4, 2002. Three weeks after sowing, whole plants were sprayed with hormone solution of Folimore (Fm) at concentration of O (Control: C), 125 ml/acre (HI), 150 ml/acre (H2), 175ml/acre (H3), 200 ml/acre (H4) and Folicyte (Fc) at concentration of O ( Control: C), 200 ml/acre (HI), 300 ml/acre (H2), 400 ml/acre (H#), 500ml/acre (H4). Plant height and number of leaves were measured from the beginning of the treatment with an interval of seven days. Yield and yield components were determined for each treatment after harvest of plants.Lowest concentration of Fm and Fc of 125 ml/acre and 200 ml/acre respectively, caused a marked increase of plant height and number of leaves per plant than other concentrations. Both hormones at lowest concentrations also increased base diameter of plant than control except H3 of Fm after harvest. Although any concentration of Fm did not increase dry weight of leaves, all concentrations of Fc increased this parameter than control Both hormones at their lowest concentrations increased dry weight of bark and stick. In the present experiment, lowest concentration of Fm showed better performance than Fc.

Objectives:

To determine the growth and yield by foliar use of phytohormonre

Methodology:

Exogenous phytohormone application was evaluated as a growth stimulator for fibre yield of C.olitorius (Var. O-9897) at the central station of BJRI in a pot experiment. Seeds were sown on May 4, 2002. Three weeks after sowing, whole plants were sprayed with hormone solution of Folimore (Fm) at concentration of O (Control: C), 125 ml/acre (HI), 150 ml/acre (H2), 175ml/acre (H3), 200 ml/acre (H4) and Folicyte (Fc) at concentration of O ( Control: C), 200 ml/acre (HI), 300 ml/acre (H2), 400 ml/acre (H#), 500ml/acre (H4). Plant height and number of leaves were measured from the beginning of the treatment with an interval of seven days. Yield and yield components were determined for each treatment after harvest of plants.

Achievement/Findings:

Lowest concentration of Fm and Fc of 125 ml/acre and 200 ml/acre respectively, caused a marked increase of plant height and number of leaves per plant than other concentrations. Both hormones at lowest concentrations also increased base diameter of plant than control except H3 of Fm after harvest. Although any concentration of Fm did not increase dry weight of leaves, all concentrations of Fc increased this parameter than control Both hormones at their lowest concentrations increased dry weight of bark and stick. In the present experiment, lowest concentration of Fm showed better performance than Fc.
