Resultados preliminares de una prueba de inducción de floración prematura en árboles jóvenes de Hevea

Abstract

Two field experiments were carried out to investigate the possibility of inducing early flowering of young rubber (Hevea) trees Treatments included bending of plants to a horizontal position, girdling of stem at 8 inches from the ground and spraying with two growth regulators. In one experiment a group of plants flowered 5 months after treatment, and in another experiment some of the plants flowered 6 months after treatment.
