| Abstract: | This paper presents ecophysiological studies of
tuberous roots of safed moosli (Chlorophytum
borivilianum), a powerful
aphrodisiac, for boosting its commercial production. Average weight of tuberous
roots produced at the end of growing season from propagule root tubers soaked
in 0.75% of potassium sulphate or a mixture (100 ppm) of equal quantities of
IAA (indole acetic acid) and kinetin prior to sowing led to three times higher
production than control. Pretreatment with potassium salts are only negligibly
lower than those produced under very costly hormones, giving higher profits to safed moosli culivators. |
