- Intervention effect Thiram reduced Worcester crop.
- Intervention effect Thiram increased Worcester fruit russet and bitter pit.
- Intervention effect Thiram increased misshapen Worcester fruit.
- Intervention effect Thiram reduced Cox crop number without increased weight.
- Intervention effect Thiram gave inferior scab control and increased russet on Cox.
- Intervention effect Summer calcium nitrate partly offset thiram-associated bitter pit.
- Intervention effect Earlier calcium applications failed to reduce bitter pit in either cultivar.
- Intervention effect Calcium nitrate programs did not affect cropping, russeting or scab control.
- Intervention effect Worcester thiram trees had higher leaf and fruit potassium to calcium ratios than captan trees.
- Intervention effect Summer calcium nitrate reduced fruit potassium to calcium ratio under captan but not thiram.
- Observation Fungicide deposition and scab control on Cox were independent of formulation and calcium nitrate.
- Intervention effect Summer calcium nitrate did not affect mildew control.
