Wirkung von Wachstumsverzögerern auf Papaya(Carica papaya)

Papaya is one of the evergreen plants in nature, characterized by softwood, hollow stems, and susceptibility to wind. As a result, the establishment of the papaya plant is a common issue. The use of growth retardants in the cultivation of papaya fruits can be very beneficial in reducing the height of the papaya plant and preventing the fruits from lying on the ground. A reduction in the height of the papaya plant can be advantageous for growers. Some growth retardants play an important role in the sex reversal and flowering behavior of the papaya plant. The reduction of growth height and internode length is very effective through the application of various plant growth regulators, especially growth retardants. Many researchers have addressed this aspect, but there is still a need to find a very specific retardant and a specific concentration. The results of this research can help papaya growers improve early flowering, the male-to-female ratio, storage height, internode length, yield, and the quality of the papaya.
