Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Sublethal regulator amounts reduced relative growth rate, leaf area ratio and leaf area to weight ratio.
- Intervention effect Net assimilation rate was relatively unaffected.
- Intervention effect At 0.12 daylight, shaded plant reactions differed markedly from unshaded plants.
- Intervention effect Shade before and after spraying reduced the concentration causing 50% mortality to one tenth of full daylight.
- Association Shoot growth reduction depended more on light after application than before.
- Intervention effect Postapplication 0.12 daylight caused greater depression of leaf growth, especially first leaves.
- Intervention effect Shade depressed first internode growth more.
- Intervention effect Under shade, low regulator doses could greatly increase second internode growth.
- Intervention effect Shade timing had different significant effects on regulator induced leaf and internode growth changes.
- Intervention effect High light after application accelerated leaf penetration.
- Intervention effect Light before application had no significant effect on leaf penetration.
- Association Transport from treated leaf to shoot was greater in full daylight after application.
