Popis:	Paclobutrazol was found to be an effective growth retardant for weeping fig (Ficus benjamina L.). Plants treated with a soil drench at rates of application from 0.125 mg a.i. to 8.0 mg a.i. per 10-cm pot exhibited retardation in plant height, leaf production, internode length, and leaf size. All measured responses were retarded linearly with increasing concentration, to the point of saturation at 0.5 mg a.i. per 10cm pot. Leaves developing under the influence of paclobutrazol also appeared darker green than in untreated plants. The growth retarding influence of a single application of PP333 persisted after transplanting. Chemical names used: (2RS,3RS)-l-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2(l,2,4-triazole-l-yl)pentan-3-ol (paclobutrazol; ICI-PP333).
