Abstract/Contents: | "In 1985, it was observed that unprocessed corn meal applied in large quantities to soil areas had an inhibitory effect on the establishment of germinating plants. Further evaluations showed that there was a naturally occurring, organic compound (or compounds) within the corn meal that had a growth regulating effect on the root system of germinating plants. Studies were conducted to determine if any of the components of the corn meal contained higher concentrations of the inhibitory substance. It was discovered that high levels of the inhibitor were found in the corn gluten meal, the protein fraction of the corn grain." |
