Pot experiments were conducted on mung bean by spraying 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm CCC, 14 days after the emergence of seedlings. Results showed that: CCC application at 1000 and 1500 ppm led to stem shortening. Dry weight of shoot system, leaf area, leaf thickness and total chlorophyll content were significantly increased by 1000 ppm CCC. CCC at 1000 ppm increased amylase and invertase activity in the leaf tissue. CCC at 1000 ppm increased the pod number/plant, seed number/pod, leading to increased seed yield/plant. CCC had no effect on the 1000 seed weight.
