Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Postbloom benzyladenine at 125 and 250 mg/l thinned Empire apple trees below commercial crop levels.
- Intervention effect Benzyladenine thinned Empire apple trees less than thidiazuron at 62 and 125 mg/l.
- Intervention effect Ethephon applied up to 250 mg/l reduced fruit set only slightly in Empire apple trees.
- Intervention effect Tank-mixing benzyladenine with ethephon gave the same thinning as benzyladenine alone.
- Intervention effect Thidiazuron thinned Empire apple trees more than benzyladenine.
- Intervention effect Benzyladenine gave a larger increase in fruit weight than thidiazuron.
- Intervention effect Benzyladenine and ethephon did not affect seed development.
- Association Thinner effects on foliar nutrient concentrations were associated with changes in fruit load but not with shoot growth.
- Association Benzyladenine and ethephon effects on fruit-flesh nutrient concentrations were similar to their effects on foliar nutrient concentrations.
- Intervention effect Thidiazuron produced virtually no changes in fruit-flesh nutrient concentrations.
- Intervention effect Thidiazuron produced large changes in foliar nutrient concentrations and seed count.
