Tillering, lodging, dry matter partitioning, and seed yield in ryegrass (Lolium spp.) as affected by the plant growth regulator paclobutrazol

Creator:

Hunter, James L.

Abstract:

Seed yield in ryegrass (Lolium spp.) is the product of the number of fertile tillers per unit area and seed weight per spike at maturity. These components of yield develop through a series of growth stages beginning with tiller bud initiation and finishing with seed filling. Environmental conditions during plant...

Effects of growth retardant and nitrogen level on growth, development and yield of Yamhill wheat

Creator:

Nounamo, Laurent

Abstract:

Increases in wheat production due to breeding may be reaching a plateau. The application of N-fertilizer beyond optimum levels leads to lodging and to an increase in tiller death. The use of plant growth regulators (retardants) may be an answer for future increases in production. Experiments were conducted in 1983...
