Abstract
1. Experiments with sodium naphthaleneacetate (sodium NA) and sodium 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetate (sodium 2,4,5-T) applied as preharvest foliage sprays to carrots resulted in some sprout retardation in the harvested crop. The most promising results were obtained with light applications of sodium NA applied early in the season, or very heavy applications 8-10 days before harvest. 2. Three forms of 2,4,5-T (the sodium salt and the methyl and isopropyl esters) and methyl naphthaleneacetate (MENA), in dust carriers, were applied directly to harvested carrot and turnip roots. One gram of MENA per bushel of roots, applied 4 weeks after they had been placed in storage at 50⚬F., gave very satisfactory sprout inhibition. 3. Several different treatments with sodium NA applied to the foliage of onions reduced sprouting of the bulbs in subsequent storage at 50⚬F. 4. Low concentrations of sodium NA applied to the foliage of onions resulted in increased bulb yields.
