Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Plant-cane ethephon increased young ratoon leaf chlorophyll.
- Intervention effect Young-stage ethephon promoted ratoon growth and economic characters.
- Intervention effect Young-stage ethephon improved cane yield.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at both stages increased millable stalk numbers and their share of shoots.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at both stages improved juice sucrose content.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at both stages decreased juice reducing sugar.
- Intervention effect Booming-stage ethephon decreased stalk length, diameter and weight against control.
- Intervention effect Under drought, ethephon treated plants had higher stalk elongation, relative water content and bound/free water ratio.
- Intervention effect Under drought, ethephon treated plants had lower malondiadehyde, soluble sugar and electrical conductance.
- Mechanism The authors interpreted ethephon treatment as improving ratoon drought resistance.
