Effects Of Aqueous Leaf And Stem Extracts Of Adenia Lobata (Jacq) On The Flowering And Fruiting Of Okra (Ablemischus Esculenta) And Groundnut (Arachis Hypogea)
ABSTRACT
The growth and development of plants which comprise its
germination, flowering and fruiting can either be induced or retarded by
various plant extracts, Erclisli and Turkal (1998). This means that the
production of specific bio-molecular compounds by a plant, mostly metabolites
can accelerate or retard the growth of a plant, Erclisli and Turkal (1998).
Various plants extracts have been used to control the flowering and fruiting of
other plants. Plant extracts such as phloem exudates of pharbits species is
known to induce flowering in the species of young plants (Nahoko and Shizufumi
1990). Nahoko and Shizufumi (1990) also observed that accelerated flowering and
fruiting occurred in plants treated with benzoic acid. The work of Tompset et
al (1973) reported that endogenous growth hormones such as auxins and
gibberellins enhance the flowering and fruiting of plants. This observation was
supported by that of Onofeghara (1981) which reported that the flowering and
fruiting of tomato and cowpea was enhances by its treatment with exogenous
growth substances.
