Abstract
Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) formulated as a sodium salt and as the ethyl ester applied in the spring of 1975 and 1976 to unpruned trunks of Pyracantha coccinea (Roem.) cv. Rosedale effectively controlled sprout growth. The 1% concentration of each formulation reduced growth 4 cm more than the 0.5% concentration. The control averaged 49 sprouts and treated plants ranged from 2 to 4 sprouts.
