Chemical composition of soyabeans from plants treated with growth retardants

Treating soyabean plants with chlormequat chloride or N-dimethyl-N-(β-chloroethyl) hydrazonium chloride in concentrations of 50–400 ppm at two different growth stages did not affect the content of the different N-fractions or of oils in the seeds obtained. Some treatments led to small increases in total carbohydrate content.
