- Intervention effect Treated plants had lower sucrose and reducing sugars in stems and roots.
- Intervention effect No treatment significantly affected moisture content.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D reduced free amino acid content, especially in leaves.
- Intervention effect Micronutrient spray increased free amino acid content.
- Intervention effect Amino acid content after 2,4-D plus minerals was intermediate between other treatments.

- Intervention effect 2,4-D treatments increased activities of phosphorylase, phosphoglyceryl kinase and succinic dehydrogenase.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D increased green pod number and fresh weight.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D increased seed number and total seed weight.
- Intervention effect Individual seed weight was not significantly altered.
- Intervention effect Green pods from treated plants had higher vitamin C content at harvest.
- Intervention effect Pod moisture content was not altered by treatment.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D alone reduced ascorbic acid and moisture loss during storage.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D plus minerals reduced ascorbic acid and moisture loss during storage.
