How does pruning help in making the hedge dense?
-
- It frees axillary buds from apical dominance
- The apical shoot grows faster after pruning
- It releases wound hormones
- It induces the differentiation of new shoots from the rootstock
Correct Option: A
When an apical bud is present on a plant, it suppresses the growth of axillary buds, this is called apical dominance. When in pruning apical bud is cut off the axillary buds start growing & hedge become dense.
