EFFECT OF PINCHING AND GROWTH REGULATORS ON VEGETATIVE GROWTH, FLOWERING AND POT PRESENTABILITY OF CHRYSANTHEMUM (DENDRANTHEMA GRANDIFLORUM) CV.PUSA SHWETJashanpreet Kaur and Jujhar SinghAbstract The current investigation titled âEffect of pinching and growth regulators on vegetative, flowering and pot presentability of Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum) cv. Pusa Shwet was conducted in the winter of 2022â2023. The experiment was laid out in factorial CRD with 12 treatment combinations such as P0G0, P0G1, P0G2, P0G3, P1G0, P1G1, P1G2, P1G3, P2G0, P2G1, P2G2 and P2G3. The findings revealed that longest plant height (45.40cm), internodal distance (1.85cm), early flower bud appearance (70.26 days) found in P0 and maximum number of branches (8.66), number of flowers per stem (4.53) in P2. GA3 at 100 ppm has promising effect on vegetative and flowering parameters. In case of interaction P0G1 gave the maximum plant height (53.67cm), number of branches (9.66). Early flower bud appearance (68.89) in P0G3, number of flowers per stem (5.13) in P2G2 and pot presentability (90.33) was found best in P1G1. |
