Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Carbaryl at 2500-3000 mg/L gave the best results, alone or in mixture with NAA.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl in mixture with NAA gave results comparable to hand thinning.
- Intervention effect NAA increased apple size only at 40 mg/L or higher.
- Intervention effect NAA above 40 mg/L caused injuries to leaves and youngest shoots.
- Intervention effect NAA applied separately was less effective than NAA in mixture with carbaryl.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at 400 mg/L applied 14 days after blooming caused successful thinning.
- Intervention effect Ethephon applied in mixture with NAA increased size similarly to hand thinning.
- Observation In the subsequent year, trees sprayed with ethephon and NAA yielded abundantly.
- Intervention effect In the subsequent year, apples from trees sprayed with ethephon and NAA were smaller than the control.
- Intervention effect Ethephon and SADH mixture caused successful thinning.
- Intervention effect Ethephon and SADH mixture increased fruit size in the year of thinning.
- Intervention effect In the subsequent year, apples after ethephon and SADH were smaller than control as a consequence of higher yield.
- Intervention effect Ethephon applied jointly with carbaryl did not increase fruit size.
