e0“lodging was reduced in all varieties”
e1“‘Hark,’ ‘Chippewa,’ and ‘Corsoy’ soybeans [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] were grown in field plots in 1969 and 1970.”
e2“Peroxidase activity increased in response to Ethrel, particularly in the internodes where lodging was first evident in control plants.”

R. V. Blomquist; C. A. Kust; L. E. Schrader Crop Science 1973. doi:10.2135/cropsci1973.0011183x001300010002x
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Leaf nitrate reductase activity peaked July 6.
- Observation PAL activity peaked in mid-July.
- Observation Peroxidase activity peaked in mid- to late August.
- Intervention effect Ethrel increased peroxidase activity, particularly in internodes.
- Intervention effect Ethrel increased PAL activity at its seasonal peak.
- Observation Corsoy lodged more than the other varieties.
- Intervention effect Ethrel did not reduce seed yield.
- Recommendation The authors suggest Ethrel may reduce soybean seed harvest losses from lodging.
