Delaying cherry blossom to reduce frost damage
A study by the University of Göttingen shows that ethephon, a plant growth regulator, can delay flowering in Kordia cherry trees, potentially protecting them from late spring frosts caused by climate change. The treatment had no significant effect on other varieties tested, emphasizing the importance of crop and cultivar selection. The findings are published in BMC Plant Biology.
