Abstract
Rapid abscission of leaves from 18- to 22-day-old bean plants was induced by 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid applied in dimethylsulfoxide. The time between treatment and the onset of abscission was 12 hours; 50% defoliation was achieved in less than 120 hours. The effectiveness of the auxin was increased fourfold by application in dimethylsulfoxide when compared with application in water at identical rates.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
