- Intervention effect An increase in BA concentration from 500 to 600 ppm positively affected most studied variables of apple nursery trees
- Intervention effect Further increasing BA concentration from 600 to 700 ppm decreased the values of the studied variables in apple nursery trees
- Intervention effect In Gala Mast, four BA sprays gave the greatest positive effect on most tree quality determinants
- Intervention effect In Gala Mast, increasing the spray frequency from four to five did not further affect feather number, optimum-length feathers or feathering zone
- Intervention effect In Oregon Spur, increasing spray frequency from three to five gave a positive response in feather number, total feather length and feathering zone
- Intervention effect Four and five BA sprays did not differ significantly in feather number or feathering zone
- Intervention effect A 2-week BA spray interval was optimal for Oregon Spur
- Intervention effect Four sprays of 600 ppm BA at 1-week intervals gave the most favourable effects on feather number and overall quality of apple nursery trees
- Recommendation The frequency of BA sprays depends on the growing period length (author inference)
- Mechanism The spray interval is determined by the cultivar ability to resume terminal growth after BA suppression (author inference)
- Association Concentration, spray frequency and spray interval of BA had a statistically significant association with apple tree quality
- Association Spray interval was the most influential factor for apple tree quality under BA treatment
