| The seedling
growth of Karun Jamir (C. aurantium ) and Cleopatra mandarin (C. reshni
) was significantly increased by spraying with urea and GA3 alone or in
combination. However, ZnSO4 alone did not have any significant effect on
growth. Seedling growth of both the species was greater with the
combinations 0.5% urea + 50 ppm GA3 + 0.2% ZnSO4 and 0.5% urea + 50 ppm
GA3. The results indicated that the seedling growth of Karun Jamir and
Cleopatra mandarin can be increased considerably by two sprays of 0.5%
urea + 50 ppm GA3 in the 3rd and 8th months after sowing. |
