Use of a Semicarbazone Plant Growth Regulator for Crop Yield Enhancements

摘要

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