Abstract

Abstract Mepiquat chloride sprays did not affect the percentage of dry weight partitioned to ‘Georgia Jet’ sweet potato [ Ipomoea batatas Lam.] vines or storage roots, but with 4000 or 8000 mg liter −1 concentrations there was a tendency toward reduced vine length and reduced number of nodes. Plants grown in 2.5-liter pots were smaller than plants grown in 10-liter pots, but responded similarly to mepiquat chloride. Chemical names used: 1,1-dimethyl piperidinium chloride (mepiquat chloride).
