Abstract

Abstract Three separate factorial experiments were designed to evaluate the effect of 10 adjuvants on net CO2 assimilation rate (A), leaf conductance to water vapor (g1), and transpiration rate (E) of pecan [Carya illinoensis (Wagenh.) C. Koch] ‘Elliott’, blueberry (Vaccinium ashei Reade) ‘Chaucer’, red top photinia (Photinia × Fraseri Dress), and azalea (Rhododendron × ‘Pink Ruffles’). Single applications of Bond, Leaf Act 80A, Nu-Film-17, Ortho X-77, Penetrator 3, Plyac, Sorba Spray ZNP, Sun Spray 7E, Triton CS-7, or Triton B-1956 at recommended rates did not affect A, g1, or E compared to a water spray. The main effect of plant species was highly significant in all three studies without adjuvant-species interactions. A significant adjuvant effect on A occurred with a second application of Nu-Film-17, Plyac, and Triton B-1956. The only significant effect, when treatments were analyzed separately by species, was that A of Plyac-treated blueberry was less than the control.
