Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect AVG applied 2 to 6 weeks before optimal harvest greatly reduced preharvest drop of Delicious apples.
- Intervention effect AVG generally did not affect color development or soluble solids concentration.
- Intervention effect AVG at 44 mg L 1 EDAC was no more effective than standard NAA.
- Intervention effect AVG at 44 mg L 1 EDAC with ABG 7011 was more effective than NAA.
- Intervention effect AVG at 88 mg L 1 EDAC was more effective than NAA.
- Intervention effect NAA enhanced softening and starch loss in fruit held on the tree 3 to 5 weeks beyond optimal harvest.
- Intervention effect NAA increased water core in delayed-harvest Delicious fruit.
- Intervention effect NAA generally left soluble solids and red color unchanged.
- Intervention effect Ethephon sprays hastened fruit drop.
- Intervention effect NAA mixed with ethephon delayed ethephon-induced fruit drop.
- Intervention effect AVG mixed with ethephon did not delay ethephon-induced fruit drop.
- Intervention effect Superior oil or Regulaid surfactant did not affect NAA or AVG responses.
- Intervention effect Silicone surfactant ABG 7011 promoted AVG effectiveness.
- Intervention effect Tank mixing pesticides did not affect the fruit-drop responses to AVG or NAA.
