Abstract:
A field investigation entitled "Response of plant growth regulators on flower yield and quality of China aster (Callistephus chinensis (L) Nees)" was carried out during the year 2020-21 at Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola with the objectives to study the effect of different growth regulators on growth, flowering, yield and flower quality of China aster cv. Phule Ganesh White and to find out the suitable concentration of growth regulators for higher and quality production of China aster. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten (10) growth regulator treatments which were replicated thrice. The treatment comprised three levels each of GA3 (50,100 and 150 ppm), Salicylic acid (50,100 and 150 ppm) and Triacontanol (1500, 2000 and 2500 ppm) along with control (Water spray).

The result of the present investigation indicated that, the growth regulator treatments significantly influenced yield and quality of China aster. Maximum flower yield per plant (318.42 g), per plot (8.91 Kg) and per hectare (3.53 t) and maximum diameter of fully opened flower (6.53 cm), stalk length (31.45 cm), stalk diameter (0.295 cm) and weight of flower (6.23 g) were recorded with GA3 @ 150 ppm spray. While maximum shelf life (8.54 days) and vase life (10.13 days) of flower were recorded with Triacontanol @ 1500 ppm spray.
