Abstract

The utilization of plant growth regulators to stimulate the number of flowers and investigating the key chemical constituents of the Cananga fruticosa x odorata flowers in Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The experimental design employed in this study is a randomized complete block design (RCBD), consisting of six treatments, each replicated five times. The treatments include T0 (Control), T1 (PBZ: Cytokinin), T2 (PBZ: Ca), T3 (PBZ: Mg), T4 (Cytokinin: Ca), at a ratio of 1:1 per liter. and T5 (Cytokinin: Ca: Mg) at a ratio of 1:1:1 per liter. Applying every 15 days after planting for a period of 2 months by recorded flower count and fresh flower yield every 15 days for a total of 5 observations. It was observed that at the age of 105 days, treatments T2 and T4 exhibited the highest flower counts, with 64 flowers per plant each. Additionally, the fresh flower yield was found to be 89.91 grams and 86.79 grams, respectively. There was a difference compared to the control group, which had the lowest flower count and the lowest flower yield. This indicated that the use of plant growth regulators and plant nutrients has an effect on stimulating Cananga fruticosa x odorata flowers to produce more abundant flowers. From the study of chemical components in Cananga fruticosa x odorata essential oil, it was found that there are a total of 47 significant components. The majority of these components belong to the Terpenes group, which are compounds responsible for the distinctive aroma. These compounds have various potential industrial applications.
