Effect of gibberellic acid on germination, sucrose, and yield of sugar beets

High temperature studies of sugar beet germination

“…He also reported that dust treatments with gibberellic acid on sugar beets at the recommended rates and twice recommended rates gave no significant responses to germination. Spray treat ments of gibberellic acid on seeds produced no differences in stand count or vigor (10).…”

The effect of hormones and chemical growth regulators on ear development and grain yield of nonprolific corn (Zea mays L.)

“…GA has been shown to affect immediate increases in photosynthetic rates in toma toes (Coulombe and Paquin, 1959), corn, beans and clover {Trifoiium pratense) (Treharne and Stoddart, 1968). Numerous other plants (Marth et al, 1956;Gray, 1957;Coleman, 1958;and Peterson, 1958) have shown dry weight increased from GA.…”
