Title
Onion Plant Size and Timing for Ethephon-induced Inhibition of Bolting1
Juan Izquierdo; J. N. Corgan Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science 1980. doi:10.21273/jashs.105.1.66
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Late-winter ethephon retarded onion leaf growth.
- Intervention effect Late-winter ethephon inhibited onion bolting.
- Association Bolting inhibition correlated significantly with bulb diameter at treatment.
- Association Bolting inhibition was greatest for bulb diameters of 0.9 to 1.6 cm.
- Observation Bulb diameter in late February or early March effectively predicted ethephon bolting reduction.
- Intervention effect When bolting was greatly reduced, ethephon increased harvestable bulb number and yields.
- Intervention effect When control bolting was low, ethephon decreased yield through lower average bulb weight.
