Suppression of lodging in triticale following foliar application of growth regulators

Extract
Biomass accumulation in cereals is an important determinant of grain yield (Green, 1984). However, when attempting to maximize dry-matter production a taller crop more prone to lodging may result (Boothroyd & Clare, 1984). While many contemporary triticale cultivars contain a dwarfing gene, most are very tall relative to wheat and barley (McDonald, 1984) and lodging is a particularly important factor in growing triticale crops.
