- Intervention effect Fall ethephon enhanced flower bud survival after −26C exposure in both peach cultivars.
- Intervention effect Ethephon delayed Jerseydawn bloom by 7 days in 1988 and 3 days in 1989.
- Intervention effect Ethephon delayed Cresthaven bloom by 10 days in 1988 and 4 days in 1989.
- Intervention effect Ethephon enhanced Jerseydawn yield in 1989.
- Intervention effect Ethephon enhanced Cresthaven yield in both years.
- Intervention effect Treated trees had later harvest dates and smaller fruit size categories than untreated trees in both cultivars and years.
- Mechanism Smaller pistils and heavier prethinning crop loads led to smaller fruit and a later harvest date.
