Abstract

Seaweed concentrate was applied to wheat plants either as a root drench or as a foliar spray. All seaweed treatments resulted in a marked increase in culm diameter. This increase was due mainly to an increase in cell size, especially of the vascular bundles. Seaweed concentrate also affected grain yield favourably. Similar observations resulting from other growth regulator usage and the significance of the findings are discussed.<br /> (Copyright © 1984 Gustav Fischer Verlag, Stuttgart.
