Retardants (Antywylegacz płynny 675 SL and Moddus 250 EC) were applied at three growth phases: BBCH 31, 32, 37. Total amount of active ingredients per 1 ha was 150 g trinexapac ethyl and 2.17 kg of chlormequat chloride. Stem height reduction was the highest in case of the varieties: Turnia, Zyta, Bogatka and Muza. The largest increase of chlorophyll content in leaves recorded in the varieties: Turnia, Bogatka and Muza.
