ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted to see the effect of penicillin-G on total chlorophyll content in (Luffa aegyptica Mill.) The different concentrations of penicillin
(25,50,100,150, and 200mg /l) were applied at pre-flowering, flowering and post flowering stages. The lower concentrations (25,50, and 100mg/l) show increasing effect on
chlorophyll (in fresh leaves) content in Sponge gourd.
Key words : Chlorophyll, Penicillin, Sponge guard.
