The Nutritive Composition of Pea and Sweet Corn Seeds as Influenced by s-Triazine Compounds1,2

Year: 1971

Type: article

Abstract: The results of 2 years’ field trials indicate that application to the soil of s -triazines, including simazine, propazine, igran, and ametryne, at low concentrations (0.125 and 0.5 lb./A) increased the protein content of pea ( Pisum sativum L., cv. Perfected Freezer) seeds. Relatively higher concentrations (1 and 4 lb./A) of simazine, atrazine, prometone, igran, or ametryne were needed to increase the protein content of sweet corn ( Zea mays L., cv. Iochief) seeds. Both quantitative and qualitative changes were noted in the pattern of amino acids in the seeds from the treated plants.
