Effect
Increased other
Trainer treated peas, c.v. Alderman (tall cultivar) showed no significant increase in shoot length, compared to untreated control plants, following biostimulant application. Trainer® treated peas c.v. Zaffiro (dwarf cultivar) exhibited a significant increase in shoot length at all concentrations, compared to untreated control plants. This increase was significantly smaller than that caused by application of gibberellic acid, which caused an increase in shoot length of both the tall and short pea cultivars.
