Influence of defoliation on toxic alkaloid concentration and alkaloid pools in tall larkspur.

Abstract:

:This study was replicated at two locations in the mountains of central Utah. In 1997, ten uniform plants of tall larkspur (Delphinium barbeyi) in the early bud stage (40 cm in height) were selected at each site and clipped at 5 cm above soil level. In 1998, one stalk from each plant was harvested on a weekly basis; in 1999, one stalk was harvested at four times during its phenological development. Toxic and total alkaloid concentrations were measured and alkaloid pools in the entire stalk were calculated. Clipping reduced stalk height to less than 50 cm in 1998 and 65 cm in 1999, compared to over 100 cm in unclipped control plants. Alkaloid concentration was similar to control plants, but toxic alkaloid pools were 70% lower than control plants, because of the reduction in biomass of the stalks. Clipping reduced subsequent vigor and the amount of toxic and total alkaloids in tall larkspur.
