Synopsis
Tillering of established alfalfa plants was increased by anti‐auxin application and a short photoperiod, whereas tillering of seedlings was increased by long photoperiods. Soil moisture, light intensity, temperature, mineral nutrition, and cutting treatment altered bud and stem development concurrently as they affected vigor and over‐all growth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
