- Intervention effect Bloom thinning increased peach shoot growth by 53% compared with hand thinning 44 days after full bloom.
- Intervention effect Bloom thinning increased flower buds per limb by 103%.
- Intervention effect Bloom thinning increased the number of 20 to 50 cm shoots by 86%.
- Intervention effect Bloom thinning more than doubled buds on the basal five nodes of 7-20 cm shoots relative to hand thinning.
- Intervention effect Shoots 7-64 cm long had more buds per cm of shoot length after bloom thinning.
- Intervention effect GA3 application inhibited flower buds.
- Intervention effect GA3 application reduced cropping in the subsequent year.
- Intervention effect GA3 treatments did not affect flower bud development on the upper half of long shoots.
- Intervention effect GA3 treatments reduced flower bud numbers on short shoots.
- Observation Fruit on long shoots were larger than fruit on short shoots.
- Observation Fruit on the upper half of shoots were larger than fruit on the lower half.
- Intervention effect Later GA3 sprays led to more fruit on the upper half of shoots.
