t0“Response of Elite Kenyan Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana, L. Gaertn) Genotypes to Ethrel Application”
e0“we subjected the plants to Ethrel at concentrations of 1,500ppm, 1,750ppm and 2,000ppm against a 0ppm check”
e1“Dwarfing of sprayed plants that resulted in less lodging and ultimately higher yields were observed among plants sprayed with Ethrel at different concentrations”

- Intervention effect Ethrel sprays dwarfed finger millet plants compared with the 0 ppm check.
- Intervention effect Ethrel sprays reduced lodging of finger millet.
- Intervention effect Ethrel at 2,000 ppm had the strongest dwarfing effect on finger millet plants.
- Intervention effect Spraying finger millet with 1,500 ppm Ethrel increased grain weight.
- Observation Ethrel had an overall positive effect on finger millet production.
