Abstract

Growth of Camellia sasanqua Thunb. [C. hiemalis Nakai] ‘Shishi-Gashira’ was either unaffected or was inhibited by single foliar sprays of Sumagic (uniconazole), while flower number was significantly greater. A 5 ppm spray of (Sumagic) uniconazole increased flower number 53% without influencing growth indices, days to flower or flower diameter. A 20 ppm spray increased flower number 113% without affecting days to flower or flower diameter; however, growth indices were reduced up to 21%.
