Summary This review discusses the use of agronomic management practices to enhance crop stress resilience to climate stress through the modulation of natural plant growth regulatory pathways. The use of biostimulants or plant hormones to improve crop resilience is subject to strict regulatory oversight if changes in the regulation of plant growth are ...

Winter cover crops’ response to different cotton harvest aids
Abstract With declining of the Ogallala Aquifer in the Central High Plains, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has emerged as a low‐water‐demanding alternative to corn (Zea mays). However, cotton harvest leaves minimal cover on the soil surface following harvest due to application of harvest aids. Planting cover crops following cotton harvest is not always

Preharvest Ethephon Application Reduces Muskmelon Quality1
Abstract Preharvest application of (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid (ethephon) to muskmelon (Cucumis melo L., Reticulatus group) significantly reduced the soluble solids content and the sucrose concentration of fruits harvested at the full-slip stage. Texture and flavor ratings were also reduced.

Management strategies for preventing and recovering from zoysiagrass winterkill
Abstract Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp. Willd.) is a warm‐season grass used from tropical to temperate climates, and it generally requires fewer inputs than most other cool‐ and warm‐season turfgrasses. The development of new zoysiagrass cultivars has increased its use in the United States, but its adaptation and specific uses are species and cultivar ...

Ethephon-Induced Abscission of “Redhaven” Peach
Fruit size of peaches is an important quality factor that can be optimized by adjusting the number of fruit on the tree by hand thinning 40 - 60 days after full bloom (dafb). Hand thinning is labor intensive and therefore the development of other strategies to reduce production cost is warranted.

DELAYING BLOOM OF `LORING' PEACH BY FALL APPLICATION OF GIBBERELLIC ACID, ETHEPHON, AND GIBBERELLIC ACID PLUS ETHEPHON [PDF]
Four year old `Loring' peach trees on `Lovell' rootstock were treated with single applications of 0, 50, and 100 ppm GA3 alone and in combination with 100 ppm ethephon on 15 November 1988, 1989, and 1990 to determine the effect on bloom delay the following spring. Flower bud number was not affected by any of the treatments the next spring. Ethephon had

Abstract Many golf course superintendents rely on plant growth regulators (PGRs) as a primary means of managing Poa annua L. in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.), particularly the early‐stage gibberellic acid inhibitor paclobutrazol (Trimmit 2SC; Syngenta Professional Products). While herbicides for Poa annua control are often applied during
