Abstract
Abstract The results of 2 years’ field trials indicate that application to the soil of s-triazines, including simazine, propazine, igran, and ametryne, at low concentrations (0.125 and 0.5 lb./A) increased the protein content of pea (Pisum sativum L., cv. Perfected Freezer) seeds. Relatively higher concentrations (1 and 4 lb./A) of simazine, atrazine, prometone, igran, or ametryne were needed to increase the protein content of sweet corn (Zea mays L., cv. Iochief) seeds. Both quantitative and qualitative changes were noted in the pattern of amino acids in the seeds from the treated plants.
