THE EFFECT OF GIBBERELLIC ACID (GA₃)ON PLANT GROWTH BEFORE AND AFTER TRANSPLANTING

GA₃ applied as a foliar spray on the Chinese flowering cabbage at 20 ppm, 10 days after transplanting, significantly enhanced the growth of the crop; but the transplanting date of the Chinese flowering cabbage has to be at about 20 days.
