Effect of Ccc and Tiba on Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum Indicum Linn)

Abstract: The present investigations were made to study the effect of CCC and TIBA on two chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum indicum Linn.) varieties viz., White and Yellow at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The results indicated that TIBA at all the concentrations showed increase in plant height, while the dwarfing effect of CCC was not observed in either of the varieties. In the variety White, CCC at 15000 ppm and TIBA at all concentrations significantly increased the flower diameter while in Yellow all the concentrations decreased the flower size. In all the treatments except TIBA at 400 ppm the yield was reduced in both the varieties. All the concentrations of CCC and TIBA induced earlier flowering than control in cultivar White, while in Yellow all the treatments registered late flowering.
