- Intervention effect In 1994, 67% defoliation reduced marketable yields more than 33% defoliation.
- Intervention effect In 1994, 67% defoliation reduced fruit number more than 33% defoliation.
- Intervention effect At either severity, defoliation affected marketable yield most about 30 or 40 days before harvest.
- Intervention effect Defoliation generally decreased fruit soluble solids concentration.
- Association In 1993, soluble solids concentration fell as damage severity rose.
- Intervention effect The soluble solids reduction was greatest when defoliation occurred 10 or 20 days before harvest.
- Intervention effect Both moderate and severe foliage loss reduced marketable yield.
- Intervention effect Both moderate and severe foliage loss reduced fruit quality.
