Abstract
Debladed petioles of pot cultured plants, entrained into one-stemmed habit and two-stemmed habit of PN-46-A and Pusa jwala varieties of Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) were treated with lanolin+growth hormone emulsion. It was observed that morphactin, cytokinin and auxin retarded petiolar abscission in both the varieties and methods while ethylene, gibberellin, abscisic acid and ascorbic acid accelerated the abscission of all the petioles tested for the purpose. Relative merits and demerits of the methods used are discussed in relation to alternate leaf arrangement in the present experimental plant material.
