Özet

Undesired vegetative growth and lodging of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) grown for seed prevent high seed production. But, there is a possibility that lodging could be reduced by growth retardants. The effects of mepiquat chloride applied at different rates on seed yield of common vetch @ 50 g a i/ha is the optimum recommended application dosage for common vetch, because the lodging was reduced and seed yield was also high at this rate.
