Abstract:
In order to reduce the early bolting in the production of root chicory,the effects of three growth regulators,chlormequat,B
9 and paclobutrazol,on early bolting of Belgian root chicory were studied.The results showed that 450 mg·kg
-1 could effectively inhibit the early bolting of chicory,and the bolting rate of chicory was 26.84%,and decreased 52.31%than the control.It is suggested to spray 450 mg·kg
-1 chlormequat on 2-3 true leaves of chicory seedings to inhibit the early bolting of root chicory.
