“…Application of chlormequat to triticale delayed senescence of the flag leaf, as previously reported in barley (Green, Dawkins & McDonald, 1985;Naylor, Stokes & Matthews, 1987). However, no delays in ear emergence or in grain maturity were noted in contrast to the response of spring wheat (Humphries, Welbank & Witts, 1965).…”

Three field experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the effect of application of the plant growth regulator chlormequat on growth and yield of the cereal triticale. Application of chlormequat resulted in shorter triticale plants as a result of restricted elongation of the upper internodes of the stem. These shorter plants produced a lower weight of straw and were more resistant to lodging. In two experiments chlormequat application led to no statistically significant increase in triticale grain yield; in a third yield was increased. Chlormequat consistently increased the number of grains per ear but this was offset to some extent by a lower mean grain weight. Yield was closely correlated with the number of grains per m2. Leaf senescence was delayed by chlormequat. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that chlormequat can increase yield potential.

“…In crops of bread wheat and barley chlormequat application causes a reduction in mean grain weight (Roebuck, 1981;Hofner & Kuhn, 1982;Green, Dawkins & McDonald, 1985), a variable which was not affected in T. durum (Table 2). Further, the number of grains produced per unit area remained unaffected.…”

Classically the plant-growth regulator chlormequat (2-ohlorethyl trimethylammonium chloride, CCC) is applied to bread wheat crops (Triticum aestivutn L.) to shorten the basal internodes of the culm (Koranteng & Matthews, 1982) and thus prevent lodging (Cyanamid, 1966). Further, yield variations in cereal crops can be induced by chlormequat application in the absence of lodging. These effects may result from a manipulation of growth (e.g. barley: Koranteng & Matthews, 1982; wheat: Wunsche, 1971; triticale: Hankins, 1975) or development (e.g. barley: Wunsche, 1972; wheat: Harris, 1978; triticale: Green & McDonald, 1985).

“…Leaf area duration is an important parameter of the continuous supply of photosynthates to the developing seeds (Brar and Thies, 1977). Delay in the onset and rate of leaf senescence in chlormequat-treated plants extends crop duration and seed formation (Green et al, 1985).…”

Influence of Chlormequat on the Growth and Yield of Irrigated and Rainfed Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea) in the Field

The effect of the field application of chlormequat on the growth, yield and seed oil content of Brassica juncea grown under irrigated and rainfed conditions was evaluated for three consecutive crop seasons. Foliar application at the flower initiation stage increased the number of primary branches, number and length of siliquae, weight of seeds and seed oil content. Chlormequat (50 AS) applied at 80 ml ha" 1 increased seed yield by more than 50%. The increase was greater in unirrigated crops.J. S. Saini, R. S. Jolly y O. S. Singh: El efecto del clormequat en el crecimiento y rendimiento de la mostaza india ("Brassica junceaj regada y de secano en el campo. R E S U M E NDurante tres temporadas de cultivo seguidas se evaluo el efecto de la aplicacion en el campo de chlormequat sobre el crecimiento, rendimiento y contenido de aceite de las semillas de Brassica juncea cultivado bajo condiciones de secano y regado. La aplicacion foliar en la etapa de iniciacion del florecimiento aumento el numero de ramas primarias, numerc y largo de las silicuas, peso de las semillas y contenido de aceite de las semillas. El chlormequat (50 AS) aplicado a una tasa de 80 ml por hectarea aumento el rendimiento de semilla en mas de un 50%. El incremento fue mayor en los cultivos sin regar.
