Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Fruit set was similar among vines treated with 2 g/ha GA3 at any bloom stage from 1-5% to 100% bloom.
- Intervention effect Berry set was reduced by 2 g/ha GA3 applied at bloom relative to the control.
- Intervention effect GA3 applications made during the later stages of bloom significantly increased berry length and weight.
- Intervention effect Fruit set generally declined as the amount of GA3 applied at bloom increased.
- Intervention effect Applications of 6.25 g/ha GA3 or more resulted in commercially unacceptable levels of shot berries.
- Intervention effect Applications of 6.25 g/ha GA3 or more significantly reduced cluster weight and packable yield per vine.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that a single application of 2.5 g/ha GA3 near full bloom may be used to reduce fruit set and increase berry size without detrimental effects on packable yield or cluster number per vine the next year.
