Abstract

The effects of the auxins 2,4–D, 2,4, 5–T and NAA have been observed on growth and solasodine content of Solanum platanifolium Sims, during ontogenesis. 100 ppm concentration of 2,4, 5–T and NAA, increased both the size and number of fruits per plant as well as the solasodine content. 2,4–D in the same concentration was toxic. The results were found to be statistically significant.
