Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Fruit count increased on sweet cherry wood grown before paclobutrazol treatment.
- Observation Fruit count of sweet cherry decreased as annual growth declined following paclobutrazol treatment.
- Intervention effect Fruit per cm of growth of sweet cherry generally increased with paclobutrazol concentration.
- Intervention effect Fruit per flower bud of sweet cherry decreased as paclobutrazol concentration increased.
- Intervention effect Paclobutrazol did not change fruit size, soluble solids concentration or firmness of sweet cherry at brine maturity.
