Indol-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA), benzyl adenine (BA) and 2-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CCC) were applied to stem ends of cabbage heads, and their effects on the freshness of stored cabbages were observed.
Chorophyll decomposition was retarded, and the appearance of stored cabbages was kept well by the treatments with N6-BA at 200ppm or CCC at 500ppm. The effect reported previously to reduce the decomposition of protein and the loss of the weight by the treatment with N6-BA was not detected in this investigation probably due to the difference of the treatment.
Treatment with 200ppm of IAA and GA accelerated senescence and damage of cabbage leaves and stems.
