Farmer-folks,

As the thread of seed germination problems came across my desk, I waited for someone to mention the use of Gibberellic Acid. I have very little experience with this plant hormone, but understand that it can be used for a variety of purposes depending on the concentration used. For example, a reference I have indicates:

50ppm - Early flowering
200ppm - Early flowering
800ppm - Blossom set
2000ppm - Seed germination
1%paste - Growth promoter

Another reference I have discusses delaying senescence of citrus with G.A.

Does anyone on the list use Gibberellic Acid on their farms? If so, what have your experiences been?

Thanks in advance,
