Controlling height of bedding plants can be one of the most difficult challenges for commercial greenhouse growers. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) often are used to inhibit stem elongation and to limit final plant height. Several techniques are
practices. Table 1. Mean values and sd s for mature pepper fruit color, fruit length/fruit diameter at midpoint, number of fruit per cluster, leaf color, leaf length, leaf width, plant height, and plant diameter in parental, F 1 , F 2 , and
on the influence of temperature on stevia growth and development in controlled environments is lacking. Increasing daily light integral generally decreased plant height and individual leaf area ( Evans et al., 2015 ). For field-grown plants
indicate that there are differences in how different pepper types respond to varying plant populations. Machinery exists that can be used if a single-pass strategy is desired to harvest peppers. However, height to the first flower, and consequently the
is favored by Chinese customers; as a result, it is one of the three most popular lily cultivars in China ( Yamagishi and Akagi, 2013 ). The flower quality is mainly related to plant height, flower number per plant, and flower diameter ( Lindsay et al
leaf size and plant height ( Fig. 1 ). Table 2 presents the effect of EMS on leaf morphology and plant height. Mutant plants (48.10 cm) were significantly taller than CK plants (26.20 cm). Leaf length and width of mutant plants (8.46 cm and 6.36 cm
. Introduction of ornamental plants is essential to diversify an urban landscape ( Suleiman et al., 2009 ). Dwarf cultivars which permit layering by height across the landscape are commercially significant in a wide variety of landscape plant species, including
evident), and 5 = green plants having comparatively abundant above-ground biomass. On 28 June 2010 and 20 June 2011, the height (centimeters) of each plant was measured as the distance from the plant base (soil surface) to the top of the highest floret at
plant. This rating was made without removing the potting mix from the roots. In Expt. 2, the plants were rated for their horticultural quality ( Ecke et al., 2004 ) based on the appearance (e.g., color, height, and bract area) on the scale from 1 (high
launched. Presently, most jatropha trees are medium-sized bushes with canopy height of 3 to 6 m and canopy diameter of 2 to 4 m when fully grown. The farmers need to regularly prune them to reduce the plant size to ease fruit harvesting. Decreasing the
