- Intervention effect Application of 2,4-D at full bloom significantly increased the percentage of closed navel-ends in Newhall Navel sweet orange.
- Intervention effect Application of 2,4-D at full bloom significantly reduced navel-end size in Newhall Navel sweet orange.
- Intervention effect Application of 2,4-D at full bloom significantly reduced navel-end size in Washington Navel sweet orange.
- Intervention effect Timing of 2,4-D application was more important than its concentration for increasing closed navel-ends and reducing navel-end size.
- Intervention effect Application of 2,4-D at full bloom had no effect on fruit diameter, fruit yield or fruit number in Citrus sinensis.
- Intervention effect Application of 2,4-D at full bloom had no effect on fruit quality parameters in Citrus sinensis.
- Intervention effect Application of 2,4-D at full bloom decreased the fruit diameter:length ratio in Citrus sinensis.
- Intervention effect Successful 2,4-D spray treatment slightly decreased fruit juice content in Citrus sinensis.
- Recommendation The authors recommend a foliar 2,4-D spray at full bloom to improve the pack-out percentage of export-quality Navel sweet oranges.
- Intervention effect A foliar 2,4-D spray at full bloom can reduce the number of culled fruit in Citrus sinensis.
- Intervention effect Later 2,4-D treatments were ineffective, compared with application at full bloom, for navel-end outcomes in Citrus sinensis.
