Abstract:We evaluated the effect of water and ethephon (2-chloroethyl phosphonic acid) under different doses (500 mg.L−1, 1000 mg.L−1, 2000 mg.L−1, and 3000 mg.L−1), with and without calcium acetate (CA) in two foliar applications on camphor and golden shower saplings. It was aimed for ethephon to replace pruning in reducing transpiration during transplantation. We adopted a completely randomized design as an experimental design. An adequate dose of the ethephon/CA solution must be able to defoliate more than 50% of th… Show more
