The effect of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) on carrot plants grown in the field

Dymethylsulphoxide (DMSO) was sprayed on carrot plants grown under field conditions on the leaves to determine its effects on fresh biomass accumulation. A 3. 7x 10-3 M solution was sprayed on two occasions during plant development. The results showed thatrootfresh weight was·28%, root length 10% and shoot fresh weight 41% higher in DMSO treated plants than in control plants.
