N2  - In a nursery experiment, the effect of the growth hormone, hydrogen cyanamide in two concentrations viz, 0.5;and 1.0;with and without rock phosphate application on bud sprout and scion growth of brown budded stumps of Hevea clone RRII 105 was evaluated. It was observed that a combination of 1.0;hydrogen cyanamide with 25 rock phosphate increased early sprouting and consequently plant height, number of leaves, number of leaf whorls, biomass and number of usable plants at 2-3 leaf whorl stage. Application of rock phosphate induced sprouting of more buds
