Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Early spur ringing (ESR) significantly inhibited fruit growth in young pear trees.
- Intervention effect Late spur ringing (LSR) significantly inhibited fruit growth in young pear trees.
- Intervention effect Early 15 % spur leaf area removal (ELAR) had little effect on fruit size in young pear trees.
- Mechanism The authors interpret that sink strength was demonstrated because the presence of the fruit caused an efficient transfer of photoassimilates.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that fruiting spurs were not fully autonomous in their carbon economy.
- Intervention effect Early spur ringing decreased specific leaf mass (SLM) by 23.84 % when measured 94 days after full bloom.
- Intervention effect Early spur leaf area removal (ELAR) did not significantly influence specific leaf mass.
- Intervention effect The treatments had no marked influence on fruit quality of young pear trees.
