Among the 6 treatment of not topped and suckered, topped and not suckered, hand suckered, maleic hydrazide treated, fatty alcohol treated to normal Hyangcho, and male sterile line, yield and Quality by price was lower at not topped and suckered, topped and not suckered or male sterile line plot. The content of petroleum ether extracts and ash was lower in hand suckered, maleic hydrazide and fatty alcohol plot, but the trends of reducing sugar, nicotine, and pH were in reverse. Reducing sugar was higher, nicotine and pH was lower in maleic hydrazide plot than in hand suckered or fatty alcohol plot. Filling value and combustibility was lower in maleic hydrazide plot than in hand suckered.

Multilocation trials on 36 rice(Oryza sativa) genotypes of 3 different maturity groups were conducted at four different locations of Orissa for 3 years and 30 ragi(Eleusine coracana) genotypes of 2 different maturity groups were evaluated in three environmental conditions for 3 years. Grain yield data were subjected to stability analysis following linear regression model to estimate adaptability and stability parameters, i.e. b, and $S^2d$ Stability of performance of genotypes was also estimated by two other stability parameters viz., ecovalence W and AMMI stability value ASV. The rice and ragi genotypes of different duration groups showed wide variation in their mean yield, b, $S^2d$, W and ASV parameters. Seeds of the 36 rice and 30 ragi genotypes were treated with 500 and 100 ppm aqueous solution of maleic hydrazide(MH) for 24 hours, respectively to study MH-sensitivity. Sensitivity of genotypes to MH treatment was estimated in terms of seedling growth inhibition index(SGI). The rice and ragi genotypes showed wide differences in their MH-sensitivity in terms of SGI. Relationship of MH-sensitivity of genotypes with their yielding ability, adaptability and stability of performance was tested by contingency $x^2$ test. Low sensitivity of rice and ragi genotypes to MH in terms of SGI appeared to be good indicators of high yielding ability of genotypes. Also, low and high MH-sensitivity of genotypes would be a good indicator of better adaptability to rich and poor environments, respectively, in ragi but not in rice. Low MH-sensitivity of genotypes could be the good indicator of stability of yield performance in rice but not in ragi.

Spray of maleic hydrazide (MH) was confirmed to be highly effective on the inhibition of lateral shoot growth regardless of grape cultivars and application concentration examined in this experiment. The optimal spray times were 30 days aft er full bloom in 'Kyoho' and 35 days in 'Campbell Early'. However, the optimum season of application should be adjusted depending on the vine vigor. The apical buds of lateral shoot was significantly affected at the concentration of $3,900mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ resulting in the death and/or abscission. Thus the optimal concentration of MH seemed to be $1,950mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. The inhibition effect by MH application was derive d from the decrease of node number and length. No adverse effect on fruit quality was found by MH application. In contrast, there was a tendency of anthocyanin in crease in 'Campbell Early' grapes. Results indicated that MH could be an effective agent to reduce the labor charge through the inhibition of later shoot growth.

This study was carried out to obtain the basic information about the sucker producing characteristics of certain burley tobacco varieties(Nicotiana tabacum L. var. burley) at Suwon and Chonju Experiment Station, Korea Ginseng & Tobacco Research Institute in 1999. The number and weight of suckers for 12 varieties or breeding lines were investigated three times, 45 days after transplanting for ground sucker, 10 days after topping, and 10 days after maleic hydrazide(MH) applying for upstalk sucker. KB 103 and KB 9416-1 produced less ground suckers and upstalk suckers than other entries did. KB 9210-8 produced less ground suckers and (Male sterile TC 612 x KB 108)F$_1$ also produced less upstalk suckers than other entries did. There was no differences among entries in sucker production at 10 days after MH treatment. Between the weight of total sucker and days to flower revealed the negative correlation, but not significant. The low sucker producing entries described above could be used as a parental line in the breeding program for the low sucker producing variety.

A pot experiment was carried out to find the effects of chemicals and its application time on the sterility and other agronomic characters of rice. Two rice cultivars, Samgangbyeo, a Tongil type, and Chuchungbyeo, a japonica type rice were treated with maleic hydrazide (6000ppm), ethephon (6000ppm) and GA3 (10ppm) at five different growth stages. The application times of chemicals were comprised of two different stages of stem elongation and booting and panicle emerging stage. Grain sterility and panicle length were measured for panicles per pot. Culm length was measured for pot basis. MH induced complete grain sterility in rice, but caused severe plant damage (phytotoxicity) ; restricted spike emergence and drying out of plant leaves, sheath and panicles. Ethephon induced 50-60% grain sterility in rice with the least in plant damage. GA3 was not effective in inducing grain sterility in rice, but it increased culm length. The earlier application of chemicals, the higher sterility was induced. Both MH and ethephon reduced culm length and grain yield. Also observed was the varietal response in the occurrence of to chemicals Samgangbyeo showed the higher response to chemicals than Chuchungbyeo.

This study was conducted to select plant growth regulators effective at ginseng berry set inhibition to help root growth in Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer). PGRs (ethephon, gibberellic acid, maleic hydrazide, coumarin) were applied to field grown 5-year-old Korean ginseng between one and two times, before and during bloom in 2009, 2010. The number of treatment was more effective in ginseng berry set inhibition when used two times compared with one time in GA 1,000 ppm, MH (5,000, 10,000 ppm), coumarin (5,000, 10,000 ppm) treatment. According to treatment period of plant growth regulator, ginseng berry set inhibition rate from 20days before flowering date to 5days after blooming was the highest in MH 5000 ppm showing 99.9% and the lowest in GA 100 ppm showing 32.8%. The spray treatments of Ethephon (50, 150 ppm) and MH (5,000, 10,000 ppm) from 20 days before the flowering bloom up to 5 days before, and coumarin (5,000, 10,000 ppm) from 20 days to 6 days and before blooming that induced the inhibitory effect more than 90% after 12 weeks. Considering ginseng berry set inhibition characteristics and treatment period ethephon and coumarin was important about applied period but, MH treatment appeared to effective ginseng berry set inhibition regardless of treatment period.

Experiments were conducted to evaluated the sucker control efficiency of several suckercides and their combinations for flue-cured tobacco in Korea. In 1999, Flumetralin(Prime+, P+), Butralin(B), Fatty alcohol(FA, n-decanol 85%), pottasium salt of maleic hydrazide(MH), tank mix of MH with P+ (MH·P+), and another tank mix of MH with FA(MH·FA) were applied after topping, respectively, then sucker number and sucker dry weight were investigated on the 30th and 50th day from treatment. Sucker number and dry weight were significantly lowered by P+, B, FA and MH·P+ applications compared with those of MH and MH·FA for both investigated periods. A significant reduction in sucker number and dry weight was observed in P+, B, and MH·P+ applications. FA treatment was not so much effective in sucker control as P+. In 1999 and 2000, several suckercides and tank mixes of their combinations were applied first at button stage and second after topping, respectively, to compare the effects of sucker control on yield, price index and chemical components of cured leaves. Compared to the standard method of FA 30x at button stage followed by MH40x application after topping(FA 30x + MH 40x), sucker number and dry weight decreased by [FA 30x (or P+ 1%] or [FA 30x(or B 1.5%) + MH 60x·B 1.5%] treatments, even at reduced MH levels. But yield, price index and chemical components of cured leaves were not differed among treatments.

Using sucker agents for tobacco can lead some advantages including saving labor, increasing yield and reducing the spread of diseases. At present, the sucker control agents used in China mainly depended on importing. The agents includes two groups, systemics (Maleic hydrazide: MH, etc) and partial systemics (Butralin, Flumetralin, Pendimethalin, etc). Now, Pendimethalin(a.i. 33%, wp) was used extensively all over the tobacco field in China. Sucker control agents will also be used for tobacco production in China. Because of the high price of the imported agents, China has studied on the domestic production of tobacco sucker control agents and has made some progresses.
