.. plant growth retardant ... chlorocholine chloride CCC (2-chloroethyle trimethyl ammonium chloride) ... prepared 30th potency and also 200th potency for CCC. Samples of CCC .. were mixed separately with 90% ethanol at 1mg/ml and designated as mother tincture (MT). Each MT was diluted with 90% ethanol and succussed 10 times to prepare the 1st centesimal potency.... Just before drug application, each potency was diluted with sterile water 1:500 and applied by foliar spray. The treatment was repeated on days 16, 17, 18, 21, 27, 33 and 42. ... Data were collected on day 75. Morphometric data such as plant height, number of branches, number of leaves/plant, root length and number of flower/plant were recorded. Biochemical parameters like total chlorophyll, sugar, carbohydrate and protein were assessed.... In all the cases significant increase in morphometric as well as biochemical
parameters were observed. (1663)
Potentized (2-chloroethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride (CCC) proved most effective in increasing photosynthesis and plant growth... CCC 200cH was prepared and CCC 200cH was diluted with water 1:100 and applied by foliar spray on rice plants 22 days after transplantation. A second treatment was given after 15days. The control solution applied on an equal number of plots consisted of
ethanol 200cH.... CCC 200cH significantly increased chlorophyll, protein and sugar in the leaves of both varieties of rice tested. The drug also increased the panicle length, and the percentage of fertile grains more than double as compared to the control.CCC 200cH treated groups significantly produced more tillers/plant than the control groups. However, plant height did not show any significant change between the control and the treatment groups. The yield in rice grains were significantly higher with CCC 200cH than with the control in both the varieties of rice. (1664)
