Effect of Plant Growth Regulators and Different Agronomic Practices on Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) Cultivars Growth and Quality Parameters:A Term Paper

Abstract

Different research works on different treatment  were reviewed to see the effects on growth parameters (Plant height, node number and inter nodal length, stem girth, shoots number, number of leaves, length of shoot, length of leaf ), flowering parameters  (number of days for bud initiation, number of days for flower development and length of flowering),flower quality parameters( lower Stalk length, flower diameter, flower length, flower weight, vase- life) and yield parameter(flower numbers per plant)  which are important aspects that influence on costumers preference on carnation cut flower. The review paper found that appropriate growth regulators in combination with best agronomic practice are the two main components to produce quality carnation produce
