L. Garner; F. Allen Langton; T. Björkman Acta Horticulturae 1997. doi:10.17660/actahortic.1997.435.21

Other claims from this paper (13)

Intervention effect Ten or twenty daily strokes provided significant height control in tomato seedlings without plant damage.
Intervention effect Brushing intervals of up to 10 minutes gave the same height control in tomato as continuous brushing.
Intervention effect Treating tomato plants at 0800 or at 1700 hours produced no differences.
Intervention effect Brushing begun at the first or second true leaf stage achieved significant height control in tomato.
Intervention effect Brushing begun at a later stage of development caused leaf damage in tomato.
Intervention effect Brushing before transplanting to the field significantly decreased stem elongation of tomato by about 20%.
Intervention effect Brushed and unbrushed tomato plants showed no significant differences in long-term growth or final fruit yield after transplanting to the field.
Observation In geranium and impatiens, reductions in plant stature were associated with significant plant damage.
Intervention effect Brushing induced a prostrate growth habit and leaf distortion in petunia.
Intervention effect Brushing significantly reduced leaf area and shoot dry weight of petunia.
Intervention effect Pansy plants were undamaged by 10 or 20 brush strokes per day.
Intervention effect Brushing significantly decreased petiole length of pansy by 17–22%.
Recommendation Brushing is an effective method for controlling tomato and pansy transplant size without adversely affecting quality or long-term growth.
