Notes:
Spray applications of 1000 mg/l (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (CEPA) five times, at weekly intervals, during November and early December induced heavy flowering in ringed and nonringed juvenile mango seedlings. The treated plants produced flower buds which opened by the end of December, while the control and ringed seedlings produced only a new flush of vegetative growth. The results show that CEPA could be profitably used for early evaluation of hybrid seedlings in mango breeding programme.
