A study was conducted to compare the competitive
ability with weeds of the short-strawed Gaines variety
wheat and taller growing varieties under different fertility
levels at three experimental locations. The
experiments were designed so that the effects of
variety, nitrogen fertilization, and weed competition
could be evaluated. The interactions between...
A study was made on the effect of CCC (2-chloroethyl)-trimethyl-ammonium
chloride), a plant growth retardant, on the RNA (ribonucleic
acid) content of wheat plants, It was found that the RNA content of
wheat leaves generally decreased with increasing levels of CCC up to
1x10⁻⁵M. Thereafter, the RNA content again increased...
Several studies were conducted to determine the influence of
various environmental factors on the toxicity of 2-tert.butylamino-
4-ethylamino-6-methylthio-s-triazirxe (Igran) to winter wheat.
The effect of temperature on Igran toxicity was studied by
growing wheat plants in pots submerged in water baths to control soil
temperature and in controlled-environment chambers. Igran...
