Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Paclobutrazol accumulated preferentially in cucumber seedcoats after soaking at 1000 or 4000 mg·L –1.
- Intervention effect Cucumber plants from seeds soaked in 1000 mg·L –1 paclobutrazol had lower average fruit weights than controls.
- Intervention effect Soaking cucumber seeds for 180 minutes in 1000 mg·L –1 paclobutrazol reduced fruit length by 40%.
- Intervention effect Tomato seed soaking at 0 to 1000 mg·L –1 paclobutrazol did not reduce average fruit weight or diameter.
- Observation Paclobutrazol residue was undetected in cucumber and tomato fruits after seeds were soaked at 1000 mg·L –1 for 180 minutes.
- Recommendation The authors suggest seed soaking in paclobutrazol as a way to treat tomato without fruit residue accumulation.
- Recommendation The authors suggest seed soaking in paclobutrazol as a way to treat cucumber without fruit residue accumulation.
