Abstract
Soaking seeds of maize cv. Double Hybrid Giza 67 in 25, 50 or 100 ppm chlormequat or 2,4-D delayed seedling emergence and decreased percentage germination; in grain sorghum cv. Giza 117, chlormequat had similar effects but 2,4-D completely prevented germination. 2,4-D decreased maize plant height, and chlormequat reduced plant height in both crops; growth was considerably reduced at the higher concentrations. Both compounds retarded tasselling and silking in maize, and chlormequat retarded heading in sorghum. Chlormequat at 25 and 50 ppm increased grain yield of maize from 2.56 to 3.15 and 3.75 t/ha and that of sorghum from 1.58 to 2.23 t/ha, whereas 2,4-D gave 2.7, 2.39 and 2.25 t maize grain/ha compared with 2.56 t/ha without 2,4-D
