Seed geranium growth and flowering responses to uniconazole
1994
Starman, T.W. | Cerny, T.A. | Grindstaff, T.L.
Height control and flowering responses to uniconazole spray or drench treatments were measured for 'Multibloom Scarlet' and 'Red Elite' geranium (Pelargonium xhortorum L.H. Bailey). Total plant height of both cultivars was reduced proportionately to the height of a 10-cm container when the uniconazole drench concentration was 0.025 mg a.i/pot. Used as a spray, uniconazole was not as effective in restricting total plant height of either cultivar. Foliage height was shortened more than inflorescence height. Inflorescence diameter was decreased with increasing uniconazole drench concentrations. Sprays did not affect inflorescence diameter of either cultivar. Uniconazole effect on days to flower varied with cultivar and application method.
