Effects of tiba (2,3,5-triiodobenzoic Acid) on Seed Production and Vegetative Growth of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)
1971
Hale, Verle Q.
TIBA (2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid) was applied at low rates to seed alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in the field. Rates of 70 and 140 g of TIBA/ha resulted in seed yield increases of 60% over controls. Glasshouse tests showed that TIBA stimulated an increase in the number of stems per plant, and the greater number of stems probably accounted for the increased seed weight. TIBA retarded vegetative regrowth in glasshouse experiments.
