- W604819697 abstract "Ixora or Jungle Geranium (Ixora coccinea) is an invaluable plant in tropical landscapes for its beautiful foliage, easiness of growing and fabulous flowers freely formed and artfully presented. Sri Lanka exports Ixora hybrids as planting materials after rooting the Ixora cuttings on a coir dust media. Exporting potted Ixora plants with flowers is more beneficial than that without flowers as flowers increase product quality and gain customer attraction. In commercial floriculture venture, flower induction at young age using plant growth regulators and fertilizers is a popular practice. An experiment was conducted to investigate the most effective combination of a plant growth regulator and fertilizers for early flower initiation of Ixora hybrids; Vulcanus, Chanmai, Nora grant and Kontiki under outdoor and shaded conditions. Six-month-aged healthy plants of Ixora hybrids grown in containers were treated with a flowering hormone containing Nitrobenzene in combination with two fertilizer types: F1 – Bloom special and F2 – Krista K 44. Flowering hormone was sprayed in four concentrations; H1= 0.075% (V/V), H2 = 0.100% (V/V), H3 = 0.125% (V/V) and H4 = 0.150% (V/V) once in two weeks. Both fertilizers were applied as a liquid spray in same concentration (1 g/L of water) once a week. All the cultural practices were similarly applied to the plants under two light levels (outdoor light ‘L1’and shaded conditions ‘L2’). There were 16 treatment combinations and control, each with five replicates. Each treatment combination consisted of three plants. The number of flower-initiated plants per treatment combination was recorded as a percentage for five weeks. Percentage values after five weeks of treatments were transformed into log values and used for the analysis of variance. All the hybrids except Vulcanus showed a significant flower induction compared to the control. Outdoor light and shaded conditions were not significantly different to each other showing the potentiality of early flower initiation of hybrids under shaded condition. However, no significant difference in flower induction was observed among four levels of the flowering hormone and the two types of fertilizers (p> 0.05) in all four Ixora hybrids despite differences among the hybrids. Therefore, it could be concluded that the least expensive combination of hormone and fertilizer type could play a profitable and a positive role in early flower induction of Ixora at an age of six months." @default.
