Abstract

Bud cuttings taken at regular intervals from brussels sprouts plants grown under different environmental conditions were rooted in peat moss, transplanted and grown under controlled conditions. Twelve weeks after striking plant heights of each series were measured. A marked periodicity in growth was observed, wih maxima (normal growth) and minima (retarded growth) 8-16 weeks apart. Differences in plant heights varied between 1 and 9 cm. The cause of these phenomena was considered to be endogenous. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
