The pre-harvest treatment of gibbrellic acid (GA 3) as foliar spray was applied to chrysanthemum cultivars in order to investigate its impact on flower quality, persistency on plant and vase life. The Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two factors factorial arrangement was used with foliar application of GA 3 (0, 50, 100, 150mgL-1) sprayed on chrysanthemum cultivars (Rebbonet, Revert, Resomme and Magdalena) at button stage of flower buds. The foliar application of GA 3 significantly influenced most of the growth parameters and enhanced the quality of flowers in chrysanthemum cultivars. However, the chrysanthemum plants when treated with gibbrellic acid (GA 3) at the rate of 100mgL-1 resulted in maximum bud size (2.29cm), flower size (13.91cm), flower persistency on plant (51.14days), fresh flower weight (14.66g), dry flower weight (6.03g) and vase life (37.15days). The cultivar Rebbonet showed the highest bud size (2.28cm), flower size (12.20cm), number of days to flower persistency (47.00), fresh flower weight (12.45g), dry flower weight (5.08g), vase life (31.00days) and the least percent flower petal fading (9.69%). The foliar application of gibbrellic acid at the rate of 100 mg L-1 significantly influenced the growth and quality flower production of chrysanthemum cultivar Rebbonet. It was concluded that the cultivar Rebonnet could be sprayed with foliar application of gibbrellic acid (GA 3) at the rate of 100 mg L-1 to obtain quality flowers under the agro climatic condition of Peshawar,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
