Abstract
SUMMARY The induction of male sterility with ethephon and improvement in ear emergence with GA 3 (1‐1 kg a.i./ha) applied 3 days later, was investigated in the winter wheat cv. Maris Nimrod sown in the field at 72 , 138 and 276 spaced plants/m 2 . Increased sowing density resulted in fewer surviving tillers per plant, a larger number of tillers per unit area and consequently a narrower range of stage of tiller development. This permitted a more accurate assessment of the correct time for ethephon application and resulted in a larger proportion of tillers responding to GA 3 by having fully emerged ears. The most effective treatments for the production of emerged male sterile ears were 6‐4 and 12‐8 kg ethephon/ha applied to crops sown at the highest density.
