Other claims from this paper (9)
- Recommendation Spraying wheat with 2,4-D should be avoided in the seedling and flowering stages.
- Intervention effect Wheat with heavy rust infection showed no additional yield reduction after 2,4-D treatment.
- Observation The greatest yield reductions occurred in the wheat variety Brevor.
- Intervention effect Foliar application of 2,4-D to seedling Brevor wheat caused abnormal root growth.
- Intervention effect Primary root elongation was inhibited by all foliar applications of 2,4-D except the 500-p.p.m. amine salt.
- Intervention effect The 500-p.p.m. amine salt appeared to stimulate growth.
- Intervention effect Lateral roots of treated plants increased in number.
- Intervention effect Elongation of lateral roots of treated plants was inhibited.
- Intervention effect Direct application of 2,4-D to roots caused only a localized response.
