Abstract
Ethephon and ancymidol were applied as substrate drenches to Nellie White Easter lilies (Lilium longiflorum Thunb.) at rates of 12.5, 25, 50 or 75 mg a.i. per pot (ethephon) or 0.1 or 0.2 mg a.i. per pot (ancymidol). In 1990, the lowest dose of ethephon resulted in the same reduction in plant height as the highest dose of ancymidol (83% of height of control). In 1991, plants treated with the lowest dose of ethephon were one-third shorter than those treated with the highest dose of ancymidol. In both years higher rates of ethephon application resulted in greater height reduction and an increased number of aborted flowers. Ethephon drenches caused greater height reduction and more flower abortion in 1991 than in 1990. Key words: Ancymidol, ethephon, Easter lily, flower abortion, Lilium longiflorum
