Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Trees treated at 5.50 and 8.25 g a.i. per tree had higher total non-structural carbohydrate in their shoots before flowering.
- Intervention effect Compared with the control, paclobutrazol-treated trees had higher percentages of shoots flowering, number of panicles produced and percentages of hermaphrodite flowers.
- Intervention effect Compared with the control, paclobutrazol-treated trees had higher fruit yield and fruit quality.
- Intervention effect Paclobutrazol applications did not affect leaf macronutrient content levels (N, P, K and Ca).
- Intervention effect Paclobutrazol-treated trees had significantly higher leaf micronutrient (Cu, Zn and Fe) levels than the control, with manganese the exception.
