EFFECTS OF MALEIC HYDRAZIDE ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION OF RED KIDNEY BEAN
Abstract
The discovery that maleic hydrazide“ (1, 2 dihydropyridazine-3, 6-dione) acts as a plant growth regulant or retardant was first reported by Schoene and Hoffman (29) in 19^9• They demonstrated in preliminary experiments with MH that the chemical applied as a spray at a concentration of 2,000 parts per million had "a pronounced but temporary inhibitory effect on plant growth." Growth regulation ranged all the way from temporary inhibition to gradual death of the plant depending upon such factors as dosage, kind of plant, method of application, and the stage of plant growth at which the chemical was applied.
