, the number of primary and secondary branches, plant height (cm), and shelling percent. Qualitative data included seed and pod color, which were collected in situ based on the guidelines outlined in descriptors for pigeon pea. Environmental data such as
is to reduce plant height through decreased cell elongation and cell division ( Rademacher, 1991 ). Commercial applications are used to restrict plant height and establish a uniform height in ornamental crops using an appropriate concentration of
Nov. 2015 from well-rooted cuttings that were ≈25 cm in height. A total of 128 plants of each species were transplanted into traditional 3.05-L (7–7/8 inches diameter) azalea pots with drainage holes and filled with either potting substrate [45
. The objectives of this study were to quantify how RTF influences time to anthesis, plant height, bract area index, and bract area-to-height ratio of eight modern poinsettia cultivars. Materials and Methods Plant material (Expt. 1). Rooted cuttings of
also calculated to evaluate relationships between visual assessments of crabgrass control and plant counts. Residue analysis. Laboratory experiments were conducted in 2013 to determine the effect of mowing height on prodiamine and pendimethalin residue
. Tomato plants from the noninfested control plants and plants infested with sweetpotato whitefly at the five to seven true leaves stage were sampled every 10 to 14 d for height, measured from substrate surface to plant canopy top; canopy diameter, measured
often elongate excessively and the plant quality suffers. Gianfagna and Wulster (1986) first showed the efficacy of paclobutrazol or ancymidol for freesia growth control. Using five cultivars, drenches of these PGRs (5 mg a.i./pot) reduced plant height
( White, 2001 ). Foliar application of Ca(NO 3 ) 2 increased plant height and leaf Ca content in parsley [ Petroselinum crispum ( Chondraki et al., 2012 )]. In tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ), foliar sprays with 0.3% CaCl 2 increased plant height and
order in which they had been planted. At harvest, the tube was uncapped and the soil column removed intact. Plant height was measured and the foliage was removed at the crown. The soil column was cut into 10 equal sections, each 10 cm diameter × 7.6 cm
), measured at a height of 1.5 m above the pot midday under cloudless conditions with a quantum sensor (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE) at temperatures between 34 °C maximum and 18 °C minimum. The following spring, leaves from the 9-month-old plants were used for
