Abstract:
A field experimentation was carried out on “Effect of plant growth regulators on growth and yield of Jasmine (Jasminum Sambac L.)’’ at Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Pt KLS College of Horticulture & Research Station, Rajnandgaon Chhattisgarh, during the year 2021-22. The investigation of research was to find out the reaction of Jasmine plant to the use of PGRs in different concentrations ie. Cycocel (500, 1000, 1500 ppm) and Maleic hydrazide (500, 1000, 1500 ppm). The result revealed that Minimum number of days taken for first bud initiation (60.33 days) and minimum days to flower opening from bud initiation(16.07days) were noted in CCC @1500 ppm and also CCC @ 1500 ppm gives maximum flowering duration, flower weight, flower diameter and Shelf life of flower (47.00 days, 0.093 g, 24.94 mm and 2.50 days respectively). Maximum number of flower per plant (102.87) was observed under MH @1500 ppm. The yield attributes viz. yield/plant (15.16 g), yield/plot (0.30 kg), yield/ha (3.03 t) was maximum under MH @1500 ppm. These research reported minimum for every traits in control under different concentration of PGRs taken in the experiment.
