Abstract

Experiment was conducted to study the effect of cytozyme on physiological parameters during Kharif season, department of Plant Physiology. Different concentrations of cytozyme viz. 5, 10 and 15 ppm were taken with control as (water spray). Foliar spray of cytozyme effected relative water content resulting a better survival percentage in treated plants as compared to control. Cytozyme treatments delay the senescence of leaves by increasing the chlorophyll content.
