Abstract

Vietnamese balm (Elsholtzia ciliata (Thunb.) Hyland) is a precious medicinal plant containing essential oils that can cure many diseases. Benzyl adenine (BA) is a plant growth regulator belonging to the cytokinin group that stimulates growth in plants. In this study, we investigated the effect of BA at six concentration levels (0.5, 10, 15, 20, 25 ppm) on the growth of marjoram (Elsholtzia ciliata Thunb. Hyland) at weeks 4 and 6. The results showed that BA treatment at both stages increased the plant's growth, reflected in the growth and physiological indicators. In particular, the best growth is with the concentration of 15 ppm at week 4.
