Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Preharvest AVG increased initial fruit set in Delicious apples.
- Intervention effect Preharvest AVG increased initial fruit set to a lesser extent in McIntosh apples.
- Intervention effect AVG increased final fruit set only in Delicious apples.
- Intervention effect Ethylene production was similar in check and AVG-treated limbs one day after thinner application.
- Intervention effect AVG did not inhibit NAA-induced ethylene production from leaves.
- Intervention effect June drop appeared increased on AVG-treated limbs.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl reduced fruit set on AVG-treated limbs to the check level.
- Intervention effect NAA at 15 ppm reduced Delicious crop load below check limbs.
- Intervention effect AVG reduced Delicious fruit size, and thinners did not overcome this.
- Intervention effect AVG did not reduce McIntosh fruit size.
- Intervention effect AVG increased McIntosh fruit length/diameter ratio.
- Intervention effect AVG increased Delicious fruit length/diameter ratio.
- Intervention effect NAA reduced fruit length/diameter ratios on check and AVG-treated limbs.
- Intervention effect NAA increased pygmy fruit number in Delicious.
- Intervention effect NAA combined with preharvest AVG doubled pygmy fruit number compared with NAA alone.
