Growth retardant tests on potted poinsettias

Blog Article

Greenhouse trials were conducted on potted poinsettias in the fall of 1966 at the Paul Ecke Axle Plastic Bushing Ranch, San Diego County, with the following objectives: (1) to compare the standard rates of the growth retardantes, 2-Chloroethyltrimethylammonium choride (Cycocel) used as a pot drench and N-Dimethylaminosuccinamic acid (B-Nine) applied as a DUO ABSOLUT ARNICA foliage spray; (2) to compare the two retardantes when both are used as foliage sprays; and (3) to determine possible injury resulting from two spray applications 10 days apart.
