Reducing sugar assessment on three indoor ornamental plants with growth regulators

摘要

The effect of GibberellicAcidand Benzyladenineon Ficus benjamina, Schefflera arboricola and Dizigotheeca elegantissima plantswas evaluated at potcultivation conditions. This study was performed in threefactorial test based on completely randomized design and 4 repeatswith 9treatments. The aim of this work is to study the effect of foliar application with gibberellic acid (GA3) at 0, 100 and 200 mg.L-1and and benzyladenine (BA) at 0, 100and200 mg.L-1levels.The results showed, Thus Ficus benjaminaplants were higher than control plants in all plotstreated with GA3and Benzyladenine, while treatment of 100 mg.L-1GA3had no significant difference with control treatment. Reducing sugars content in Schefflera arboricolaplant remained unaffected with 0 mg.L-1BA + 100 mg.L-1GA3treatment, while it was decreased markedly by 100 mg.L-1BA, 100 mg.L-1BA + 100 mg.L-1GA3, 100 mg.L-1BA + 2 00 mg.L-1GA3and 200 mg.L-1BA. The treatments of 100 mg.L-1BA + 100 mg.L-1GA3, 100 mg.L-1BA + 200 mg.L-1GA3and 200 mg.L-1BA had higher reducing sugars than control and treatments of 200 mg.L-1GA3, 100 mg.L-1BA, 200 mg.L-1BA + 100 mg.L-1GA3 and 200 mg.L-1BA + 200 mg.L-1GA3 had lower reducing sugars than control (no spray).
