MCPA applied to oats at the I -to 2-leaf stage had slight effects on grain quality, whereas 2:4-D at this stage generally increased kernel weight, husk ash content, and content of abnormal grains, and decreased the grain yield. Applied at the 4-to 5-leaf stage, 2:4-D also increased kernel nitrogen content and decreased kernel oil content. Effects were enhanced as the dosage increased. Yielder and Craigs Afterlea were most susceptible to 2:4-D at the 4-to 5-leaf stage; Sun 11, a relatively resistant variety, at the 6to 7-leaf stage.(I) Auchincruive, Ayrshire, 1952. MCPA as the sodium salt was applied to Yielder oats at four dosage levels: 2,4,6 and 8 lb. in IOO gal. of water/acre. Sowing,
Effect of M C P A and 2 : 4-D on quality of oats
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.
