ABSTRACT:
A method of delaying flowering in plants which control their flowering by producing a flowering inhibiting regulator on a seasonal basis is provided. In the method of the invention, a flowering inhibiting amount of the regulator is applied to the plant about the time in the growth cycle of the plant when the regulator is no longer produced by the plant. As a result, the duration of the inhibitory effect on the plant is prolonged. Bis (2-ethylhexyl) hexane dioate (BEHD) is disclosed as such a regulator. Also disclosed is a family of diesters of dicarboxylic acids having flowering inhibiting activity, other methods of treating plants with these compounds, and a new method of identifying flowering regulators.
