Effect of plant growth regulators on growth and yield of Limonium var. misty white

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of plant growth regulators on growth and yield of Limonium var. Misty White during September, 2014 to May, 2015 in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with eleven treatments and three replications. The results revealed that application of gibberellic acid @ 200 mg/l recorded significantly maximum shoots per plant (1.79), weight of inflorescence (77.32 g), inflorescence per plant (5.90), flowering duration (17.33 days) and vase life (5.77 days) with minimum days to flowering (82.31) whereas application of salicylic acid @ 150 mg/l recorded significantly higher plant height (20.60 cm) and inflorescence length (167.53 cm) of Limonium flowers var. Misty White.
