Foliar applications of gibberellic acid and benzyladenine increase vines of ‘White Butterfly’ Syngonium podophyllum
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Syngonium podophyllum ‘White Butterfly’ is a species of species of Araceae, and commonly cultivated as a houseplant. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of foliar spray of gibberellic acid (GA3) and benzyladenine (BA) both at 100, 200, 400 and 800 mg L-1 was compared to the control (distillated water) on growth of Syngonium podophyllum plants at greenhouse of Azad University Jiroft, Iran. Effect of GA3 and BA (p<0.05) on No. of vines, length of side branch, petiole length, leaf chlorophyll Index and plant fresh and dry weight was significant. Effect of GA3 and BA (p<0.01) on length of main branch, leaf length and width, No. of leaves/plant, 60 and 90 day, root fresh and dry weight was significant. Results showed that, 800 mg L-1 GA3 increased No. of leaves/plant, 90 day of Syngonium podophyllum as 270.22 and 262.88% compared to control treatment. This study indicates that GA3 and BA can increase number of vines in Syngonium. Leaf number increased with GA3 concentration. Plants were normal in appearance and were fertile.
