However‚ the soil application of paclobutrazol was more effective in reducing crop cycle than foliar application. The minimum planting-harvest interval was recorded with soil applied paclobutrazol at 0.25ml/m of canopy radius which was at par with 0.50ml/m of canopy radius. Crop cycle was least influenced with paclobutrazol as foliar spray (Table 1). Maia et al. (2008) reported that paclobutrazol
