Extract

It has been shown that with proper timing and the correct concentration, 2,4–D sprays can be used to control strawberry runner production (2). Other effects of this chemical upon the strawberry plants have been studied in a general way by Denisen (4) and Carlson (1). However, these effects have not been shown to be related to a specific influence of the chemicals on the morphological development of the strawberry plant. As the 2,4–D compounds used for weed control have exhibited growth regulating properties (3, 7, 10) it seemed likely that certain preparations might have a more unfavorable influence on plant growth than others. Also, since the molecular structure of the various preparations were different, it could be expected that the various preparations might differ in their influence on the developmental processes of the strawberry.
