Abstract
Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of cycocel (CCC) in senna (Cassia angustifolia Vahl.) at different concentrations, viz. 50, 100 and 500 mg/l and applied as foliar spray at two different stages of growth period, I.e. at seedling, S1 (20th day after sowing) and/or before flower initiation, S2 (40th day after sowing). These studies were undertaken to know how far CCC can manipulate the plant characteristics and hence the yield. Field trials were conducted during summer and kharif seasons of 1982. Considering all the three pickings of kharif season, CCC sprayed at 50 mg/l have recorded highest yield (fresh and dry weight of leaves) which had edge over other sprayings.
