Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Regulator effects on return bloom differed between nonfruiting and fruiting shoots.
- Intervention effect All regulators reduced flowers per new shoot on nonfruiting mature Western shoots.
- Intervention effect AVG reduced flowers per shoot by as much as 93% on nonfruiting mature Western shoots.
- Intervention effect GA 3 reduced next-season flowers per shoot by 88.2% on previously nonfruiting immature Western shoots.
- Observation Immature Pawnee shoots showed no statistically significant treatment differences.
- Recommendation The authors suggest regulators can alter crop load through return bloom and help mitigate alternate bearing.
