Increase of Spinach Growth Through the use of Larger Plug Cell Volume and an Exogenous BAP Spray

J. Di Matteo, J. Rattin & A. Di Benedetto · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2015

Aims: In spinach, transplanting has replaced direct seeding but small containers may cause root restriction effects that would be decreased post-transplant yield. Although a single hormonal regulator (BAP) spray is effective in overcoming root restriction, the mechanisms involved...

Exogenous BAP Spray Applications against to Abiotic Stress Related by Root Restrictions in Spinach

J. Geraci, J. Di Matteo, V. Feuring, E. Giardina & A. Di Benedetto · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2018

Previous reports showed that the abiotic stress related to the pre-transplant plug cell volume during nursery decreases both root and shoot growth at the transplant stage and limit final yield to leafy green vegetables. The cytokinin function has been linked to different abiotic...
