Effect of Alar, Cycocel and Bonzi and Their Method of Applications on Growth Performance of Ivy Geranium
(Pelargonium peltatum)
Author(s): Kebede Tedila*
This green-house experiment was conducted to determining the growth response of Pelargonium peltatum to
application of Alar, Cycocel and Bonzi spray and drench applications. On the test plants it was observed that the
application of Alar, Cycocel and Bonzi considerably affected most of the evaluated parameters except the number of
roots. Alar, Cycocel and Bonzi reduced the height of the test plant and branching habit was induced in all
combinations. Accordingly, the highest number branch per plant was obtained from plants treated with Bonzi in
drench application however the respective lost number of branches per plant was recorded from plants which did not
receive plant growth retardant chemicals. In general the investigations entail that Alar, Cycocel and Bonzi can
influence growth of Pelargonium peltatum and cutting yield (branching). From comm.. View More»
