Abstract:
Removal of sprouting lateral shoots in rose plants caused breaking of lateral accessory buds. The sprouting of accessory buds decreased toward cane base. Lateral-shoot removal also resulted in an increase in the leaf specific weight and chlorophyll content and an increase in the average root weight. The effect of de-shooting on the leaf abscission differed in canes of different positions on the plant. © 1981.
