Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Foliar sprays of methanol or ethanol significantly stimulated the growth of tomato plants.
- Intervention effect Both methanol and ethanol increased leaf and stem fresh and dry weights of tomato plants, with the largest increases at the highest concentrations tested.
- Intervention effect Methanol produced a greater increase in stem length and stem fresh and dry weights of tomato plants than ethanol did.
- Intervention effect Methanol and ethanol did not differ significantly in leaf weight or leaf number of tomato plants.
