Summary:THE present investigation was to determine whether the effect of gibberellic acid in causing chlorosis was due to an interference in chlorophyll formation or to some secondary effect 1 . Pisum sativum var. Meteor were grown in the field in a block arrangement, and alternate rows were treated with gibberellic acid ( Y.F. 4961, Plant Protection, Ltd.). Gibberellic acid diluted to 100 p.p.m. with water was sprayed on the upper surface of the plant 10 days after emergence.
