USE OF A SEMICARBAZONE PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR FOR CROP YIELD ENHANCEMENTS

摘要

Fruit yield enhancement is achieved by applying a semicarbazone in a fruityield enhancing effective amount to thelocus of a fruit bearing plant. Most preferably, the semicarbazone treatmentis practiced at the onset of reproductive growth - that is,at the onset of the flowering and/or fruit reproductive growth stage of theplant.
