| Abstract:
The Programme Committee of the XXIst INTERNATIONAL HORTICULTURAL CONGRESS in Hamburg decided in consultation with the ISHS, to publish the papers of the most actual topics presented during this Congress, in 10 volumes in the series of Acta Horticulturae. As was agreed that the publishing should be realised in the first half of 1983, a number of authors did not succeed in having their paper ready for submission in time, so unfortunately a few had to be left out. The Programme Committee as well as the ISHS are very grateful for the work done by the convener of this Acta, number 137, titled "Growth Regulators". During the past 15 years growers and scientists have been paying increasing interest to the application of growth regulators in fruit and vegetable industry and in ornamental plants as well. Thus, the XXI International Horticultural Congress, held in Hamburg, Federal Republic of Germany, 1983, was an excellent opportunity to gather informations available and to discuss recent results of investigations among scientists from all parts of the world working in this field. The volume Growth Regulators of Acta Horticulturae includes in full length papers presented in the reading session and the text and tables of posters demonstrated during the meetings. It has become evident that though there are still many questions to be answered, our knowledge of growth regulators, their mode-of-action and problems implied in the practical use, is steadily improving. | |
