Summary

Gibberellic acid (GA3); monophenols, salicylic acid (SA) and β-naphthol (β-N); diphenols, catechol (CT) and resorcinol (Res); and polyphenols, chlorogenic acid (CA) and tannic acid (TA) hastened the emergence of ears and increased the numbers of branches and ears, number of seeds, seed weight and the 1000-seed weight in cheena millet (Panicum miliaceum L.). The results show that the action of phenolic compounds is not related to their structural configuration as is considered by some workers.
