GA3, IBA, 6BA and NAA, Ethrelimpacted the growth of CoLk 94184.
Setts priming with ethephon using STD unit - Setts priming with graded doses of ethephon (ET) @ 50, 100 , 200 and 400ppm along with water treated control causes early and higher initial shoot population at all doses of ethephon; highest (>80% over control) was at 400 ppm ethephon in sugarcane. Setts priming with Ethrel @ 100 ppm causes early (at 20 days) and higher rate of bud germination (approx. 56%) in sugarcane.
PGRs impacted sprouting % initial plant numbers, tiller numbers and biomass accumulation. They led to improvement in sprouting and biomass dynamics.
