e0“In ‘Golden Delicious’ only sequential early BA together with late MM application simultaneously reduced fruit number, increased fruit size and provided acceptable return bloom”

Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Metamitron applied 21 days after full bloom reduced the number of fruits per tree more than the 7-day application.
- Intervention effect Metamitron applied 21 days after full bloom improved apple fruit size relative to the 7-day application.
- Intervention effect Metamitron applied 21 days after full bloom gave satisfactory return bloom in apple.
- Intervention effect Metamitron applied 7 days after full bloom had weak thinning efficacy in apple.
- Intervention effect Individual BA treatments did not induce satisfactory thinning in apple.
- Intervention effect Early NAA application improved fruit weight and fruit size distribution in Gala apple.
- Intervention effect The second NAA application reduced the number of fruits per tree in Golden Delicious.
- Intervention effect The second NAA application increased average fruit weight in Golden Delicious, reducing the share of small fruit in the total yield.
- Intervention effect Sequential application of MM with BA and NAA was the most reliable chemical thinning option in both cultivars.
- Intervention effect MM as the second thinner caused slight over-thinning in Gala apple.
- Observation Gala apple was easier to thin than Golden Delicious.
- Intervention effect Sequential early BA with late MM reduced the fruit number in Golden Delicious.
- Intervention effect Sequential early BA with late MM gave acceptable return bloom in Golden Delicious.
