The Influence of Ethrel on the Ripening, Quality and Storage of Jonathan Apple

The effect of Terpal on the yield and yield components of oil-seed rape (Brassica napus L.)

“…Mepiquat chloride (a quaternary ammonium compound with similar antigibberellin properties to cycocel) was developed as a morphoregulator for cotton where it has been shown to reduce plant height, shorten internodes and increase boll retention (Willard et al 1977). The activity of ethephon has been attributed to its release of ethylene which influences a wide range of developmental processes, for example fruit abscission and ripening (Chatterjee, 1977;Gvozdenovic, Dulic & Slavic, 1978), growth retardation (Van Andel & Verkerke, 1978) and also the extent of lodging in cereals (Hill, Joice & Squires, 1982).…”
