- Intervention effect Spray treatments did not change shoot growth, leaf area development, or trunk cross-sectional increment.
- Intervention effect Sulfur treatments reduced yield per tree by 12% versus non-sulfur treatments.
- Intervention effect Sulfur treatments decreased fruit numbers per tree.
- Intervention effect Kocide DF treatments increased the proportion of russeted fruit.
- Intervention effect Adding Kumulus to Kocide DF ameliorated russet.
- Intervention effect Adding slaked lime to Kocide DF ameliorated russet.
- Intervention effect All treatments except slaked lime reduced fruit blush versus the IFP control.
- Intervention effect Slaked lime tended to reduce sunburn.
- Intervention effect Kocide DF plus Kumulus had the highest reject rate for low colour.
- Intervention effect Kocide DF increased fruit black spot incidence versus control.
- Intervention effect Slaked lime increased fruit black spot incidence versus control.
- Intervention effect Combined Kocide DF and slaked lime gave black spot control not significantly different from control.
- Intervention effect Lime sulfur increased dry eye rot incidence.
