Abstract

The experiment on effect of night interruption and PGRs application on growth and ABA levels in Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep. off-season productions was conducted. Experimental design was a split plot with 3 replications. The main plots were 1) growing under natural light and 2) night interruption with supplement lighting and the sub plots were 4 PGRs applications: 1) pure water as control 2) Gibberellins (GA3) 100 mg/l 3) fluridone 10 µM and 4) GA3 + fluridone. The result showed that the night interruption did not affect plant growth (height and total leaf area). While the PGRs applications were significantly different in plant height and total leaf area. The GA3 application gave the highest plant height but night interruption had significant interaction   with PGRs application in terms of plant height and total leaf area. Both lighting and PGRs applications did not affect endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) levels in plant parts (leaf, mother rhizome and old storage roots) and there was no significant interaction between lighting and PGRs application on ABA levels in plant parts.
