Abstract

Murraya paniculata species is used as a host
plant in the mass rearing of Diaphorina citri. The objective of
this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations
of Liplant, Fitomas-E®, indolacetic acid (AIA) and indolbutiric
acid (AIB) on the behavior of M. paniculata bud sprouting
before and after pruning, to continue a previous work. At the
beginning of this experiment, height and bud amount were
measured in six-month-old plants; later on, the first pruning
was performed and products were then applied. After several
prunings, bud amount and sprouting performance were
determined. The highest bud sprouting stimulations were
achieved by applying Fitomas-E® at 0.5 mg.L-1, indolbutiric
acid at 0,5 and 1 mg.L-1 and Liplant at 0,4 mg.L-1.The use of
these products along with systematic prunings induce a greater
bud sprouting in M. paniculata plants.
