RESPONSE OF PEA PLANTS TO SOIL AND FOLIAR APPLICATIONS OF CYCOCEL ((2-CHLOROETHYL) TRIMETHYLAMMONIUM CHLORIDE)

Abstract
The foliar application of Cycocel at a concentration of 10-5 M at the 5th node stage increased internode length, plant height, fresh weight of plants, fresh and dry weight of peas and total dry matter. The concentration of 10-3 M under the same conditions reduced all these characters. Soil application was generally less effective in altering the growth and development of pea plants.
