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
are usually full and compact in height. Chemical growth retardants are normally applied during the vegetative stage and the early period of forcing to control plant height ( Bailey, 1989 ). An improved understanding of plant N requirements during
. 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
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
favored by intermediate mowing frequencies ( Smith and Fellowes, 2014 ) where lawns were mowed to 4 cm when they attained 6 cm in height. One observational study in Paris found that mowing frequency, among other factors, negatively impacted plant diversity
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
regulators (PGRs) are commonly used to control plant growth habit, including plant height and branching, while reducing the time of production and labor costs and improving plant quality ( Cohen, 1978 ; Sajjad et al., 2017 ). One such PGR is dikequlac sodium
the flats of rhizomes. Plants were grown in a greenhouse with set points as described, and after 30 d, plants were transplanted to 307-mL containers using the same medium and plant height (measured from the potting medium surface to the apex of the
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
