Abstract

Field and greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the following growth regulators: ABG-3034, a cytokinin, benzylaminopurine (BAP); alkanolamine salt of 2,4-D; gibberellic acid (GA); isopropylamine salt of glyphosate; kinetin; napthaleneacetic acid (NAA); and PP333, an experimental antigibberellin compound, and the herbicides: dimethylamine salt of dicamba and potassium salt of picloram alone and combined on the growth and control of leafy spurge. The results of greenhouse and field studies show that growth regulators did not enhance the performance of herbicides in controlling leafy spurge.
