Abstract
SummaryFour plant growth regulators, paclobutrazol, daminozide, glyphosate and 2,4-D, were added individually to a mixture of magnesium silicate gel and germinated tomato seeds. 2,4-D inhibited emergence at 0.1 and 1.0 ppm and was highly toxic to the seeds. Glyphosate suppressed emergence at concentrations greater than 25 ppm as measured by emergence rate, but at 1 ppm emergence was not significantly different from the germinated control. Glyphosate at concentrations greater than or equal to 25 ppm suppressed seedling growth. Paclobutrazol reduced emergence and markedly suppressed plant growth at 25 and 50 ppm, but at a 1 ppm seed emergence was not significantly inhibited and the seedlings developed into healthy, stocky transplants. Daminozide did not suppress either emergence or seedling growth. The results also indicated that gels can be an effective medium to introduce growth regulators into tomato plants at the germination stage in fluid drilling.
