Vegetative terminals of azalea (Rhododendron spp.) plants of varying ages initiated flower buds promptly after application of the chemical growth retardants, tributyl-2,4-dichlorobenzylphosphonium chloride (phosfon) and (2-chloroethyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CCC), as soil drenches. This response occurred under environmental conditions which prevented or limited flower bud initiation in untreated plants. Normal flowering followed exposure of the treated plants to dormancy-breaking cool storage.
不同年龄的映山红（Rhododendron spp.）植物的营养生殖枝在使用土壤淋洗剂化学生长延缓剂三丁基-2,4-二氯苯膦基氯化物（phosfon）和（2-氯乙基）三甲基氯化铵（CCC）后，迅速启动花芽形成。在未经处理的植物受到抑制或限制花芽形成的环境条件下，这种反应发生了。在处理过的植物暴露于打破休眠的低温贮藏后，就会正常开花。
