Abstract
N-DIMETHYLAMINOSUCCINAMIC acid (‘B-995’) has been found to stimulate flowering in clones of some woody ornamental plants1. Foliar sprays of ‘B-995’ (Naugatuck Chemical Co., Bethany, Conn.) were applied to 2-year-old pear seedlings to examine the effect of the chemical on growth and juvenility. Groups of ten trees each were given the following treatments: (1) a single application of 4,000 p.p.m., July 9, 1962; (2) a single application of 8,000 p.p.m., July 9; (3) a triple application of 4,000 p.p.m,, July 9, 16 and 23; (4) a triple application of 8,000 p.p.m., July 9, 16 and 23; (5) none. The young trees had been planted in 1961 directly in 3-gallon crocks of soil since maintained in a field.
