Abstract

Little is known regarding the effect of 2,4-D–and especially of a range of 2,4-D concentration–on the growth of the tops or of the rootstock of citrus trees, although considerable information is available as to the effect of 2,4-D when applied to citrus fruit and its effect on the retention by the tree of oil-soaked citrus leaves.
