Cairo University, during the seasons of 2002/2003 and 2003/2004. to study the effect of pinching height (5 or 10 cm), paclobutrazol (PP-333) foliar spray treatments at 200 or 400 ppm (with or without pinching at a height of 10 cm), and combining pinching at 10 cm with N fertilization at rates of 2 or 4 g/plant (using ammonium sulphate, 20.5% N) on growth, flowering and chemical composition of Barleria cristata. All treatments decreased plant height (especially pinching + PP-333 at 400 ppm), but increased stem diameter and branching UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2005/AASM/4305/2/727.pdf ER -
