Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Late GA3 treatments increased soluble solids concentration in the season of application.
- Association A significant interaction between GA3 rate and application time was observed on increased fruit firmness in the current season.
- Intervention effect Increasing GA3 rates decreased flowering the following season in a quadratic fashion.
- Intervention effect Increasing GA3 rates reduced the requirement for hand thinning by 41% to 90%.
- Intervention effect GA3-treated trees had lower crop loads at harvest than untreated control trees.
- Intervention effect GA3-treated trees had lower yields at harvest than untreated control trees.
- Intervention effect GA3-treated trees had larger mean fruit size the year after application.
- Intervention effect GA3-treated trees had improved fruit size distribution the year after application.
- Observation Advanced fruit ripening was evident as increased fruit SSC.
- Observation Advanced fruit ripening was evident as decreased fruit firmness.
- Mechanism The advanced fruit ripening is likely an indirect effect of GA3 on crop load.
