Other claims from this paper (18)
- Intervention effect Pollination inhibitors applied in bloom and hormone thinners applied at petal fall or 8 mm fruit diameter caused good fruit thinning of apple.
- Intervention effect Sevin + Accel + Oil applied in bloom caused good fruit thinning.
- Intervention effect Sevin + Accel + Oil increased fruit diameter.
- Intervention effect Sevin + Accel + Oil did not affect fruit russet.
- Intervention effect Ethephon applied at 22 mm fruit diameter at the tested water and chemical rates did not cause significant fruit thinning.
- Intervention effect In 1998, pollination inhibitors and hormone-type growth regulators caused flower and fruit thinning of Starkrimson/MM111/106 trees.
- Intervention effect Ethephon treatments gave good thinning.
- Intervention effect Sevin + Accel + oil was not as effective for thinning as pollination inhibitors and ethephon.
- Intervention effect Thinex caused the most side russet.
- Association Treatments that thinned generally caused increased fruit diameter.
- Intervention effect In 1999, early thinning promoted return bloom.
- Intervention effect Ethephon did not appear to promote return bloom beyond the thinning effect.
- Intervention effect In 1998, endothall caused good thinning of York/MM.111 trees with a minimum of foliage injury.
- Intervention effect Thinning with endothall in 1998 greatly increased return bloom in 1999, but trees were slightly over thinned.
- Observation Fruit injury caused by carbaryl was almost non-existent in 1999.
- Intervention effect Shading trees for 1 day together with carbaryl sprays did not promote fruit injury.
- Intervention effect A tank mix of Oil with the 50WP, 80WP, XLR or 4L formulations caused 3 to 8% of the fruit to show injury at a very low intensity.
- Intervention effect Sevin + Accel + Regulaid caused injury to more than 50% of the fruit in an adjoining block.
