- Intervention effect Application of 6-benzylamino purine (BA) alone or together with gibberellic acid (GA 4+7 ) increased lateral-shoot development in young apple trees.
- Association Apple cultivars differed in branch-induction response, partly according to growth habit.
- Intervention effect Surfactant made BA alone as effective as BA plus GA for shoot-growth induction.
- Observation Induced shoots reached lengths up to 40 cm.
- Observation Induced shoot-length distribution generally resembled untreated trees.
- Association Required follow-up pruning increased in proportion to lateral-shoot formation.
- Observation Apple trees ceased responding to exogenous BA in mid-June.
- Intervention effect BA and BA plus GA applications produced a constant number of lateral shoots from prior-season growing points over the preceding three weeks.
- Intervention effect Later application within the responsive period produced more shoots from new buds.
