Effect of Chlormequat and SADH on Runner Development and Fruiting Behavior of Summer-planted Strawberry
1
Abstract
Retardation of runner formation in the fall was obtained in summer-planted strawberry (cv. Tioga) as a result of (2-chloroethyl)trimethylammonium chloride (chiormequat) and succinic acid-2,2-dimethylhydrazide (SADH) spray treatments. No residual effects of the growth retardants on runner development were found in the following spring. The treatments brought about a significant increase in the no. of crowns per plant, but this had no effect on the total yield of the plants. Fruit quality was lowered by the treatments, especially by SADH.
