Abstract

Siapton 10 L, a plant biostimulant based on natural hydrolysed proteins, when applied in Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton) plantation at the rate of 2 ml per litre of water by spraying twice per annum during June and September increased Cardamom yield significantly. Increase in the number of racemes per panicle as well as number of capsules per raceme indicated the beneficial effect of Siapton 10 L on increased flower production as well as on fruit setting. Depending up on the growth and age of the plantation, six litres of Siapton 10 L is required to spray one hectare per round of application. The cost of the chemical as well as its availability in the market will decide on its acceptance by the Cardamom farming community.
