Application Methods of 6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BA) in Promoting Lateral Bud Growth for Specific Crops

1. Apple

• Method: Apply 150–600 mg/L 6-BA via whole-plant spray once during the vigorous shoot growth stage.

• Effect: Stimulates lateral bud development.

2. Rhododendron

• Method: Spray 250–500 mg/L 6-BA twice (interval: 1 day) during the active growth phase.

• Effect: Enhances lateral bud proliferation.

• Note: Confirm the species name (“杜鸭” may require verification).

3. Chinese Toon

• Method: Apply 50–75 mg/L 6-BA via whole-plant spray once during growth.

• Effects:

  • Induces apical bud sprouting and triggers lateral bud proliferation.

  • Inhibits apical dominance, accelerating shoot growth.

  • Enhances shoot robustness and significantly increases yield per plant.

4. Cotton

• First Application: At the normal topping stage, spray 90 mg/L 6-BA evenly on the apical meristem.

• Second Application: Reapply the same concentration 14–20 days later, targeting both apical and lateral meristems.

• Effects:

  • Replaces manual topping and regulates plant height, fruiting branches, and boll numbers.

  • Boosts yield but may increase Micronaire value, slightly affecting fiber quality.
