Influence of 2,3,5-Triiodobenzoic Acid and Gibberellin on Growth, Yield and Nutrient Content of Southern Peas1

Year: 1969

Type: article

Abstract: Field experiments were conducted to determine the influence of TIBA and Gibberellin sprays on yield, growth characteristics and chemical composition of ‘California Black eye No. 5’ and ‘Purple Hull Pinkeye’ varieties of southern peas. Yield of peas was slightly increased on both varieties with the application of TIBA. Time of application as well as rate was a critical factor in producing maximum yields. Application of TIBA reduced plant size and concentrated maturity. The application of 50 ppm Gibberellin 5 days after application of 20 g per acre of TIBA further concentrated maturity and increased the desirability of peas for mechanical harvest. Iron concentrations in pea leaves were increased with application of TIBA.
