Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Shoot length fell significantly only at 10 g PBZ per tree and higher rates.
- Intervention effect PBZ at 20 g per tree sharply reduced vegetative growth for one year.
- Intervention effect PBZ at 40 g per tree sharply reduced vegetative growth for one year.
- Observation The effect of 10 g PBZ per tree on shoot growth was modest and lasted one year.
- Observation Shoot length effects of PBZ rates except 40 g disappeared by year three.
- Intervention effect At 2.5 g PBZ per tree, flowering was 16 days earlier in year one.
- Intervention effect At 40 g PBZ per tree, flowering was 40 days earlier in year one.
- Observation The flowering-time effect declined in year two and disappeared by year three except at 15 and 40 g.
- Intervention effect PBZ from 2.5 to 20 g per tree did not affect mature fruit count over three years.
- Intervention effect PBZ at 40 g per tree produced the fewest mature fruit in the first two years.
- Intervention effect PBZ at 40 g per tree produced the most mature fruit per canopy area in year three.
- Intervention effect All PBZ rates decreased average fruit weight.
- Observation Fruit was smallest at 15, 20 and 40 g PBZ per tree.
- Intervention effect Low PBZ rates of 2.5 and 5 g per tree did not affect fruit juice soluble solids.
- Intervention effect PBZ at 10 g per tree or higher significantly increased fruit juice soluble solids.
- Intervention effect PBZ at 15 g per tree and above reduced leaf Mg content.
- Observation Leaf N and K content did not change significantly.
- Recommendation The authors suggest 10 g PBZ per tree can reduce tree size and induce early flowering.
- Recommendation The authors suggest reapplying 10 or 5 g PBZ every two years under rainfed conditions.
