Abstract
The effects of ethephon spraying on the growth and yield of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) was investigated. The results indicated that spraying ethephon for three times leaded to the highest growth parameters in term of stem, leaf, root and total dried weight and yield, followed by spraying two and one times. The ethephon spraying to stevia at concentration of 200 ppm gave the highest total dried weight and yield. It is concluded that application of ethephon at concentration of 200 ppm to stevia for three times at 30, 60 and 90 DAT gave the highest vegetative growth and yield.
