Effect of Spraying Crude Aqueous Extract of the Fruits of Lantana camara L on wheat plants

Abstract

Crude aqueous extract of the fruits of Lantana camara was sprayed on the field grown wheat plants at different concentrations, viz., 25%, 50%, 100%. Data were collected on the morphological changes of the plants together with grain yield. It was evident that due to spray, more or less all characters of the treated plants showed better result over untreated control. The ear emergence was about 10-15 days earlier in the treated plants. The total yield was enhanced by about 19% over control due to the spraying of 100% extract. Besides different nutritional components present in the spraying material i. e.. in the crude extract of the fruits of Lantana camara, gibberellin As-like substance was also detected from this sample.
