The effect of applying plant growth regulators on seed yield and quality of guinea grass (Panicum maximum) cv. Tanzania was studied in one crop on a sandy clay in Mexico. The treatments consisted of 3 growth regulators [ethephon, salicylic acid and a steroidal phytohormone (cidef-4)], 2 stages of application (before seed head emergence and at the beginning of anthesis) and 4 application concent...

In the present study, potential of ethylene as ethephon (an source) was investigated individually and in combination with split doses nitrogen (N) sulfur (S) soil treatments for removal damaging effects salt stress (100 mM NaCl) mustard (Brassica juncea L.). Plants were grown 50 mg N plus S kg−1 at sowing time an equivalent dose 20 days after [N50 + S50]0d 20d. Ethephon 200 μL L‒1 applied to co...

Arceuthobium (dwarf mistletoes) are hemiparasites that may cause great damage to infected trees belonging to Pinaceae and Cupressaceae. Currently, dwarf mistletoe control involves the use of the ethylene-producing product ethephon (ETH), which acts by inducing dwarf mistletoe shoot abscission. However, the process by which ETH functions is mostly unknown. Therefore, the transcriptome of the ETH...

In this study, the effects of concentration and application time of ethephon on growth parameters; stem height, stem diameter, biomass, carbohydrate content; sucrose content, invert sugar, brix value, and juice volume of two sweet sorghum cultivars were determined. Three ethephon application time (8 leaves, booting, and flowering) and five ethephon concentrations (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 ppm)...

In the recent years, increasing labour cost and shortage of being major constraints to follow manual harvesting in cotton staggered manner. Further, it is very expensive farmers would like increasingly opt for mechanical harvesting. this context, suggested that research should focus reduce cultivation substantially by promoting use synchronized maturity defoliants encourage agriculture, are use...
