e1“Three successive sprays (75, 82 and 89 days after sowing) of 100 p.p.m. of GA 3 to safflower buds of <0.5 cm diameter at a pre‐meiotic interphase stage resulted in reduced pollen viability from 81.6‐6.7% compared with the control”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation An average hybrid seed percentage of 80.7% was obtained in GA3-treated safflower.
- Observation The hybrid seed percentage in the secondary heads of safflower was 87.5%.
- Intervention effect The GA3 treatments did not significantly affect the production of viable achenes in safflower.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that GA3 could be successfully used as a chemical hybridizing agent in hybrid safflower production.
