Effects of foliar-spraying plant growth regulator on the growth of Lycoris radiata

This article preliminarily studied the effects of 10 foliar-spraying plant growth regulators treatments on the leaf growth, bulb diameter and the amount of fibrous roots of Lycoris radiata. The result indicated that foliar-spraying GA3 and KT -30 could significantly promote to increase the leaf length, leaf width and bulb diameter. But they had no significant effect on the amount of fibrous roots. Similarly, the treatments of foliar-spraying NAA above 50 mg/L could significantly promote to increase the leaf length, leaf width and the amount of fibrous roots. However, they significantly decreased the bulb diameter and the relative leaf greenness.
