Effects of Reduction in Plant Height Induced by Chlormequat on Radiation Interception and Radiation-Use Efficiency in Wheat in Southwest Japan

The effects of reducing plant height by the growth retardant chlormequat on radiation interception and radiation-use efficiency in field-grown wheat were studied in southwest Japan. Chlormequat was applied to wheat cultivar Sanukinoyume 2000 at the beginning of jointing. The cumulative total solar r...
