Nutmeg (<em>Myristica fragrans Houtt</em>) is an important spices in Indonesia. The advantages of nutmeg is essential oil content, the result of distillation which is for the spices industry, the manufacture of soaps, perfumes, cosmetics, have high economic value and are a source of foreign exchange to non oil &amp; gas, Indonesia is able to supply the needs of the market the world of up to 70% to 75%. Generally, nutmeg in Indonesia use generative propagation which has the strong root system and long life, but the germination takes a long time. Using the natural plant growth regulators for germination can be used to accelerate growth. Natural PGR’s can be extracted from some plants such shallot as a source of auxin, banana hump as a source of cytokinins, and bamboo shoots as a source of giberellin.The purpose of this study was to determine the types of natural PGR’s that have good effect on the growth of nutmeg seedling. The experiment was carried out in Desa, Bugel, Kecamatan Ciawi Tasikmalaya with altitude at 600 meters above sea level, from June 2018 to September 2018. This study used Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) Method. The treatments were: a0= control, a1= shallot, a2= bamboo shoot, a3= banana hump, a4= shallot + bamboo shoot, a5= shallot +, banana hump, a6= bamboo shoot + banana hump, a7= shallot + bamboo shoot + banana hump.The result showed that:1) type of natural substances plant growth regulator effected on various growth variable, 2) Combination of shallot bulb + bamboo shoot, or combination of shallot bulb + bamboo shoot and banana hump good effected on plant height, seedling diametre, number of leaf, leaf area, and shoot root ratio.

Abstract Experiments were conducted from 1996 through 2001 in Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas to determine peanut response to the commercial plant growth regulator Early Harvest® (a commercial mixture of cytokinin, gibberellic acid, and indole butyric acid). Early Harvest (applied in the seed furrow) or Early Harvest TST (applied as a dry seed treatment) followed by four foliar applications (four-leaf peanut, initial pegging, 14 d after initial pegging, and pod fill), was compared to non-treated peanut in five, 13, and three experiments in these respective states. Early Harvest did not affect pod yield or gross economic value of peanut regardless of location, cultivar, or edaphic and environmental conditions. These data suggest that a spray program consisting of Early Harvest most likely will not improve pod yield or gross economic value of peanut.

Aim: To assess the pleiotropic role of a plant growth regulator, commercially identified as brassinolide (BR) in mitigating waterlogging stress imposed on maize. Study Design: A factorial combination of two maize varieties [Ikom White (IKW) and Oba-98], two BR levels (0 and 250 ml) and two waterlogging stages of maize growth [control (WL0) and seedling stage (WL1)], arranged as a split-split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Place and Duration of Study: Akpabuyo Local Government Area, Cross River State-Nigeria. A two-year field experiment was conducted during the dry seasons of December 2016 and December 2017. Methodology: Waterlogging test was conducted on plots by demarcating them with 3.6 by 1.7 m metal sheets buried to a depth of 60 cm to prevent lateral soil-water movement. Two maize seeds were sown at 25 cm within and 75 cm between rows. The BR (250 ml) was sprayed foliar at 21 DAS. The non-waterlogging plots served as control. Observations were made on growth and yield variables as well as the plant's physiological traits. Results: Waterlogging significantly reduced the growth attributes of maize and increased (p≤0.05) the leaf moisture content. The photosynthetically active radiation on maize plants was substantially reduced (p≤0.05) by the waterlogging stress. Dry matter yield (DMY) and nutrient uptake in the leaves, stems and grains were reduced (p≤0.05) at both silking and at harvest. The effect of the BR was greater in Oba-98 with higher nutrient contents, radiation absorption, dry matter and grain yields than IKW. Conclusion: Treatment of maize plants with BR could induce some tolerance of field waterlogging. Thus, for optimum efficiency in maize production under stressed soil condition of waterlogging, it is recommended that the foliar spray of BR at the 250 ml per plant rate be considered.

Introduction: This study aims to obtain concentration of shallot extract (Allium cepa ) and growth regulators to increase growth of Mucuna bracteata. Mucuna is a land cover plant that must be planted in oil palm plantation areas. It is very important to be able to cover the planting area. Materials and Methods: This study used two factorial in randomized block design. The first was concentration of shallot extract per 100 ml distilled water consists of 4 levels, such as control (B0), 10 cc (B1), 20 cc (B2), 30 cc (B3) and the second was the auxins-plant growth regulator consists of 4 levels: Control (G0), 100 ppm (G1), 200 ppm (G2), 300 ppm (G3). Data analyzed with ANOVA with a significant 5% and continued with the DMRT using SAS version 9.1.3. Results: It was found that effect of concentration of shallot extract had a significant effect on survival percentage of Mucuna bracteata at a concentration of 10 cc (B2) after opening the lid at four weeks after planting (WAP) and did not change until 8 WAP. Likewise, the number of leaves at the control concentration (B0) at the age of 6 WAP, and a concentration of 10 cc (B1) at the age of 7-8 WAP. The concentration of growth regulators and their interactions did not significantly affect the survive percentage and number of leaves in Mucuna bracteata.

Pepper is an important crop in Indonesia because it is one of the country's foreign exchange sources because it is one of the export commodities. The availability of good plant materials will support increased production. Provision of growth regulators in vegetative propagation is very influential on the propagation of pepper plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the most effective combination of growth regulators for pepper cutting. This study was conducted using a randomized block design consisting of eight treatments namely Control (P1), metallic 2 mL L-1 water (P2), mastafol 2 mL (p3), Atonik 2 mL (P4), metallic 1 mL + Mastafol 1 mL (P5), metallic 1 mL + atonic 1 mL (P6), mastafol 1 mL + atonic 1 mL (P7), metallic 0.66 mL + Mastafol 0.66 mL + Atonic 0.66 mL (P8). Setek is grown on soil media: fuel husk: manure (2: 1: 1). The results showed that the best  Plant growth regulator  combination treatment for the growth of pepper cuttings was P7 (mastafol 1 mL L-1 water + atonic 1 mL L-1 water), which can be seen in the parameters of the number of roots, root length, root volume and number of shoots. The treatment of  Plant growth regulator  given did not significantly affect the character of leaf growth

The water in semiarid regions contains salts in excess. When good quality water is not available it is necessary to use strategies that can make feasible the use of saline water. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the application of the plant growth regulator on the culture of basil stressed with salt. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design by the matrix “Central Box Compound”. Shoot height, stem diameter, leaf area, dry masses and soil chemical characteristics were evaluated. The salinity of the irrigation water causes reduction of the basil growth parameters, with the exception of the inflorescence dry mass. Plant growth regulator applications have effect on basil growth when plants are irrigated with saline water.
