Response of Cilantro (coriandrum Sativum) to Combinations of Gibberellic Acid, Folcysteine, and Nitrogen
Year: 1996
Type: article
Abstract: Field experiments were conducted in the Dominican Republic to determine the effect of combinations of N with folcysteine and gibberellic acid 3 on cilantro ( Coriandrum sativum ) yield. Nitrogen levels (0, 36, 55, 73, 91 kg·ha –1 ) in soil application at sowing were combined with foliar spray of the biostimulant folcysteine or gibberellic acid (0, 100, 200, 300, and 400 ppm) 15 days after emergence. Treatments were applied in a factorial arrangement on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Fresh weight of the aerial part of the plants was determined 40 days after emergence. No significant difference was found due to folcysteine treatment. Nitrogen had a significant effect, with optimal yield at 55 kg·ha –1 . Significant interaction was detected for the combinations of gibberellic acid and N, with yield increasing as the rate of the two factors increased.
