Abstract:The slow growth of the pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) during the vegetative phase prolongs the crop cycle, resulting in higher production costs. When used in low doses, some herbicides can stimulate plant growth, a phenomenon known as hormesis. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of sub-doses of glyphosate and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) on growth in the Pérola cultivar of the pineapple. The treatments under study consisted of glyphosate applications of 0, 1.8, 3.6, 7.2, 18, 36… Show more
