Summary To compare the effectiveness of two sources of Ti:-dicyclopentadienyl titanium chloride (organic Ti) and titanium chloride (inorganic Ti) a pot experiment was conducted with bean at 0.25, 0.5 and 1 ppm levels of water-soluble Ti applied as foliar spray. Application of Ti enhanced the chlorophyll content of leaves, suggesting its influence to promote photosynthesis. Dry matter yield of bean was increased by 5.6, 8.9 and 20 per cent over control due to addition of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 ppm levels of water-soluble Ti, respectively. However, organic and inorganic sources of Ti were equally effective. Spray of Ti also increased the uptake of major and trace elements.
