Abstract
Regrowth of trunk sprouts on eight of nine species treated with growth regulators was reduced by 85 per cent, as compared with untreated trees in these tests. The sprouts that did grow on treated trunks were only one-tenth to one-third as long as sprouts from untreated trunks. There was very little translocation of the growth regulators from the regions of application.
