Abstract

Two foliar applications of gibberellic acid (GA3, 250 mg l-1) enhanced the flowering in various clones of Papaver bracteatum. The most pronounced effects were obtained in late flowering clones in which GA3 increased significantly the number and weight of the capsules and thebaine yield per plant.
