Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Peach trees exposed to temperatures above 60 F became hardy to 0 F.
- Association Hardening and dehardening of peach wood closely followed temperature fluctuation.
- Intervention effect A photoperiodic response in hardiness was not definitely observed in peach wood.
- Intervention effect Extended photoperiod had no significant effect on hardiness.
- Intervention effect Defoliation did not change bloom date or fruit set compared to controls.
- Intervention effect Gibberellic acid spray had no effect on peach wood hardiness.
- Intervention effect Defoliation in mid-August caused serious physiological damage.
- Intervention effect Defoliation in mid-September was not nearly as damaging as in mid-August.
- Intervention effect Defoliated peach trees were less hardy than controls until mid-winter.
