Abstract
Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is a growth regulator used to control vegetative growth, stimulating the reproductive capacity of plants. PBZ has been widely marketed throughout the tropics to stimulate mango flowering. In the recent years, many reports showed that application of PBZ by soil drenching can cause permanent stunting of flushes, the vegetative and root growth of mango was reduced. The aim of this work was to determine the effects of PBZ on flowering of mango by foliar application. The commercial mango cultivar ‘Namdokmai-sitong’ was used in this study. The experiment was analyzed as a completely randomized design. There were 4 replications with 10 treatments. Foliar application at 15 days after pruning with PBZ at 0, 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 mg./L and repeated at 30 days with 0 and 1,000 mg./L. There was significant difference on the time to flowering, percentage of flowering shoots and panicle length. The trees receiving the PBZ at 2,000 mg/L were exhibited stunting of flushes and panicle malformation. This study suggests that the multiple foliar application of PBZ was effective in promoting flowering in ‘Namdokmaisitong’ mango, can help early flowering and higher percentage of flowering shoots.
