Abstract

The experiment was designed to investigate the effect of Fulifertil at levels 0,2 and 4 gm/L and growth regulators GA3 at 0,100,200 and 300 ppm also kinetin at 0,25,50 and 75 ppm and their combination on croton plants. In general the results indicate that there were increases in the carbohydrates, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content. The anthocyanins and carotenoids pigments were increased while chlorophyll `a” and “b” pigments were decreased. These findings are required to give colorful leaves which give good display.
