Nipping: Plucking the apical buds of the crop at about 30 to 40 DAS is done to stop the apical growth.
Nipping promotes the lateral branching, plants to become more vigorous and produce more vigorous and produce more flowers and pods and yield per plant is increased.
The chemical is used for nipping TIBA (tri iodo benzoic acid) 75ppm.
nipping can be done by flock of sheep.
