Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Plants with different nutrition responded differently to indoleacetic acid.
- Intervention effect Relatively high potassium was needed for indoleacetic acid to increase total dry weight.
- Intervention effect At some nutrition levels, indoleacetic acid at 10-9 increased whole-plant dry weight as much as 12.5 per cent.
- Intervention effect Indoleacetic acid significantly increased dry weight at 10-7, 10-8 and 10-9 concentrations.
- Intervention effect Indoleacetic acid did not replace potassium or improve its use under deficiency.
- Intervention effect Indoleacetic acid did not hasten flowering.
- Intervention effect Naphthalene acetamide did not accelerate flower-bud appearance.
- Intervention effect Neither growth substance increased leaves per plant.
- Observation Leaf size varied considerably.
- Association Percentage dry weight rose as potassium decreased.
- Intervention effect Succulence increased only with relatively high indoleacetic acid concentration.
- Intervention effect At 10-6 naphthalene acetamide, root dry weights rose 34-58 per cent.
- Intervention effect At the same naphthalene acetamide concentration, top growth was significantly reduced.
- Observation Primary leaf blades stayed pendant by day as the first visible potassium deficiency symptom.
