- Intervention effect Foliar application of aqueous seaweed extract significantly increased potato yield in the King Edward variety in a 1974 trial.
- Intervention effect Foliar kinetin significantly increased tuber yield in both King Edward and Pentland Dell potatoes.
- Association Kinetin and seaweed extract of equivalent cytokinin activity gave closely correlated potato results.
- Intervention effect Aqueous seaweed extract significantly increased tuber yields of King Edward potatoes in a complementary 1975 trial.
