Abstract
An experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka during the period from October 2008 to March 2009. The experiment
consisted with two factors; Factor A: pinching viz. P
5
0
: without pinching and P
: with
pinching and Factor B: foliar application of growth chemicals viz. F
:
Wuxol; F
2
: Vegimax, F
3
: Agro grow and F
: Surgrow with 3 replications. In case of
pinching the tallest plant
4
but maximum number of
leaves per plant
0
and the shortest
plant
but minimum number of leaves
1
. For foliar application of growth chemicals the
tallest plant
0
and the shortest plant
2
. In case of
combined effect the maximum number of leaves per plant
1
F
and all the above parameters were lowest with
P
0
F
0
2
. So, pinching with vegimax was found suitable for growth and yield of
chrysanthemum.
