Differential Plant Injury And Yield Responses Of Tomato Varieties To 2,4-D, D. P. Coyne, O. C. Burnside Feb 1968

Differential Plant Injury And Yield Responses Of Tomato Varieties To 2,4-D, D. P. Coyne, O. C. Burnside

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Experiments reported in this bulletin were conducted to determine the extent of plant injury and yield loss due to high and low rates of 2,4-D sprays on a wide range of home garden and processing tomato varieties. Results of this study could be used as a basis for suggesting tomato varieties suitable for growing in areas where 2,4-D drift is a common problem. An experiment was also conducted to determine if there was resistance to or good recovery from 2,4-D injury in other tomato species and in a wide collection of tomato plant introductions.
