Abstract

Trimming procedures in the maintenance of a landscaped area are costly time consuming and labour intensive. Disposal of the great quantity of trimmed biomass is also an issue in certain countries. Paclobutrazol which inhibits the gibberellin biosynthesis in plants was studied for its potential of retaining the landscape functions of some common hedge plants in Malaysia. The species under study were Acalypha siamensis Ficus microcarpa and Syzygium oleina. Appropriate dosage of this plant growth regulator were better in controlling the growth of these species as compared to the conventional method of shoot trimming.
