Title
Vegetative Establishment of Dwarf Elephantgrass: Effect of Defoliation prior to Planting Stems
L. E. Sollenberger; C. S. Jones; K. A. Albrecht; et al. Agronomy Journal 1990. doi:10.2134/agronj1990.00021962008200020019x
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Undefoliated stems emitted more shoots per row than all other treatments except topped.
- Intervention effect Defoliation had no effect on the percentage of planted stems producing at least one shoot.
- Intervention effect Shoot dry matter was greater for undefoliated stems than for all but stripped stems.
- Intervention effect Root dry matter was greatest for undefoliated stems.
- Intervention effect Meristem-treated stems initiated shoot but not root growth during the first 2 weeks after planting.
- Observation Undefoliated stems produced little shoot dry matter by 2 weeks after planting.
- Observation Root growth of undefoliated stems started soon after planting.
- Recommendation Successful establishment of Mott elephantgrass is most likely if undefoliated stems are planted.
