Abstract: Field grown plants receiving gibberellic acid (GA) 4 weeks or 4 and 8 weeks after planting produced significantly more runners than the control. Compared with the controls, there were no significant vegetative or cropping differences due to rate of GA application. Increasing the rate of applied nitrogen increased runner, runner plant, and % leaf N values in greenhouse grown plants and a GA spray of 50 ppm combined with 120 ppm N gave the highest runner plant yield. Time of GA application was the significant factor in the vegetative response of this cultivar; however, compared with the control the increases were relatively small.
