Effects of Formulation and Method of Applying Gibberellic Acid on Flower Promotion in Cocoyam
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 October 2008
Summary
Gibberellic acid (GA) at 1500 ppm, applied as foliar spray or pre-plant soak, effectively promoted flowering in Nigerian clones of the cocoyams Xanthosoma and Colocasia. A foliar spray (technical grade GA) applied with 0.25% surfactant gave better results than with 0.01% surfactant or than a foliar spray of Pro-Gibb Plus (commercial GA formulation). A pre-plant soak of Pro-Gibb Plus was least effective but could be useful in poorly equipped research stations.
