Effect of exogenous gibberellin application on leaf-flush growth, morphometry, and delayed phenology in post-pruning kaffir lime seedlings

Exogenous Gibberellin Boosts Post-Pruning Growth of Kaffir Lime Seedlings
 Researchers have explored how exogenous gibberellin application affects leaf-flush growth, morphology, and phenological delay in pruned kaffir lime seedlings. Results reveal that gibberellin can stimulate faster recovery and healthier regrowth after pruning. This work directly supports SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). The study underscores the potential of plant growth regulators in improving the productivity and resilience of horticultural crops. By optimizing pruning recovery, farmers can achieve higher yields while ensuring better quality of kaffir lime leaves—an important commodity in the culinary and medicinal industries.
