Controlling plant stem elongation is common in ornamental plant production. Height control is necessary to meet industry standards for target plant height ( Fisher and Heins, 1995 ), to increase plant aesthetics by producing more compact plants
grain-type soybean report that plant density influences plant height ( Matsuo et al., 2018 ; Mehmet, 2008 ), number of main stem branches ( Agudamu and Shiraiwa, 2016 ; Board and Kahlon, 2013 ), and plant biomass ( Matsuo et al., 2018 ). Companies
contributed to improved mechanical harvest efficiency; however, additional research was needed to identify the most important determinants of mechanical harvest quality/efficiency, such as plant height, plant width, number of basal branches, basal stem
dolomitic limestone. Plants were pruned to 8 cm in height 7 d after planting (DAP). Plants were fertilized with 15N–3.9P–10K controlled-release fertilizer (8- to 9-month formulation at 21 °C, Osmocote Plus; Scotts Miracle-Grow, Marysville, OH) applied as a
