Inhibition of Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora var. glandulosa) Growth by Fosamine
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
Fosamine [ethyl hydrogen (aminocarbonyl)phosphonate] acted as a chemical inhibitor of shoot growth for periods of up to 3 yr following a single summer application to honey mesquite [Prosopis juliflora (Swartz) DC. var. glandulosa (Torr.) Cockerell] trees. Anatomical study of field, greenhouse, and seedling mesquite indicated that the inhibition of primary and secondary growth caused by fosamine was due to a general cessation of nuclear activity in apical meristems and in the vascular and cork cambia of this species.
