Effect of nine growth retardants applied to loblolly and slash pine
Keyword(s):
In an effort to dwarf seed orchard trees without reducing fruitfulness, nine growth-retardant chemicals were applied at several concentrations each as either aqueous foliar sprays or oil-based bark bands. All treatments which significantly retarded growth also caused injury or death. Mefluidide, as a 0.7% foliage spray, reduced growth and caused only minimal injury. Effects of the chemicals on seed production could not be observed, as no control or treated trees flowered. Slash pine was more sensitive to the chemicals than loblolly pine.
