The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of gibberelin and cytokinins on stem height, leaf lenght  panicle land.This study used a completely randomized design with two factors, the concentration of giberellin and cytokinin 0, 10,20,50 ppm.Based on the data analysis below combiation had a significant effect on the stem height(P2C1).Cytokinin at concentration  of 25 and giberelin  10 ppm  increase the stem height(. The combination cytokynin 50 ppm and giberellin 50 ppm  (P3C3) affect  leaf  lenght and lengt of panicle maize.
