Introduction
Conventional Fertilizer Common inorganic fertilizer (Chen, 2006)
Slow-Release Fertilizer delays its availability for plant uptake and use
(Shaviv, 2005) has semi-permeable coating (AAPFCO, 2007)

Introduction
Effects of chemical fertilizers on plants: Protein and carbohydrate content increased in
Stevia rebaudiana induced with conventional fertilizer (Patil, 2010).
Vegetative growth of Cryptostegia grandiflora developed well in slow-release fertilizer treatment (Hussein, 2009).

Introduction
Gibberellic Acid (GA3)
Simple gibberellin (Tulis, 1964)
Isolated plant growth hormone (Cohen & Paleg, 1967; Tulis, 1964)
Promotes growth and elongation of cells but different concentrations have relative effects to various plant species (Sakr et al., 2003)

Objectives
To evaluate the effects of different amounts of GA
3, Conventional Fertilizer and Slow-
Release Fertilizer on growth and chemical composition of Citronella Plant.
Vegetative Characteristics Chlorophyll content, Carbohydrate
content, % of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium

Objectives
To evaluate the effects of Conventional Fertilizer and Slow-Release Fertilizer combined with different amounts of GA3 on growth and chemical composition of Citronella Plant.

Significance of the Study
This study will provide basis for developments of fertilization techniques and parameters needed for maximum C. winterianus growth.

Cymbopogon winterianus (Citronella)
Have the ability to produce essential oils (Wijesekera, 1973)
Used as insect repellents and aromatherapeutic agents (Leite et al., 1986; Shah, et al., 2011; Wijesekera , 1973)
