Response of Wheat to Foliar Applications of 2-Chloroethyltrimethylammonium Chloride¹

Responses of ‘Coker 65-20’ and ‘Blueboy’ varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to a single foliar application of 2-chloroethyltrimethyl-ammonium chloride (CCC) were investigated in field experiments at Mississippi State, Miss. In spite of the general reduction in plant height and lodging, the results did not support the hypothesis that a single foliar application of CCC would enable the use of more than 100 kg/ha N to significantly increase grain yield. When severe lodging occurred due to adverse climatic factors, CCC had no beneficial effects, whereas a mechanical support significantly (.01) increased yield 40%.

Key Words: Chlormequat • Cycocel • Chlorocholine Chloride • CCC • Triticum spp. • Plant growth regulator
