Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Prohexadione-calcium reduced vegetative growth of Empire apple trees by approximately 18%.
- Intervention effect Prohexadione-calcium reduced vegetative growth of Royal Court apple trees by approximately 44%.
- Intervention effect Sylgard 309 enhanced prohexadione-calcium control of apple vegetative growth.
- Intervention effect Increasing Apogee from 75 to 125 mg L -1 PC gave no additional vegetative growth control.
- Intervention effect Apogee rate did not influence fruit count, yield per tree or mean fruit size in either cultivar.
- Intervention effect LI 700 reduced fruit number, yield and crop density in Empire apples.
- Intervention effect Sylgard 309 reduced fruit number, yield and crop density in Empire apples.
- Intervention effect LI 700 increased Empire apple mean fruit weight and share of fruit in larger size categories.
- Intervention effect Royal Court apples receiving the highest Apogee rate had higher crop densities.
- Intervention effect Royal Court apples receiving the highest Apogee rate had poorer fruit color.
- Intervention effect Royal Court apples receiving the highest Apogee rate had a higher share of fruit below 60 mm diameter.
- Recommendation The authors support using alternative surfactants with Apogee beyond those on US and Canadian labels.
