Influence of different plant growth regulators on buds initiation and Range analysis. Vigorous and green buds (+ + +); healthy buds (+ +); weak bud ( +). Each Value represents the mean ± SE of five replicates. Significant deference at P ≤ 0.05, x- ± Sd- average ± Standard deviation, x ± SE – average ± Standard error.
