ABSTRACT
Granular insecticide Temik 10g (Aldicarb) was used in
five doses of 0.0 (control), 0.4, 0.8, 1.6 and 3.2
g/plot (1.33 sq. ft) to evaluate any phytotoxic or
phytotonic impact on Paulownia tomentosa PFI No. 19, at
nursery stage. Measurements of parameters recorded one
month and twenty days after treatment were plant height,
number of leaves per plant, fresh weight of leaves,
fresh weight of stem, dry weight of leaves, dry weight
of stem and percent dry matter. Five plants per
treatment were selected at random, then data were
converted on per plant basis. Plant height was the only
parameter which significantly increased in response to
Temik, while others were non-significant. Temik 10g at
the dose of 3.2 g/plot increased 32.13 percent plant height over control.
