title: [Effect of seed soaking in plant hormone and trace element fertilizer on the growth of Psoralea corylifolia L].
abstract: Our study shows that seed soaking in triacontanol, ammonium molybdate and gibberellin can promote the growth of P. corylifolia, reduce its premature flower and fruit drop, raise the fruit-bearing rate by 6.5-17.4%, and fruit-bearing number by 21.6-28.4%, so as to increase the yield per unit area by 31.5-34.8%. Seed soaking in naphthylacetic acid and boric acid does not give such a marked effect.
