- Intervention effect KNO3 spray produced the highest floral panicle count.
- Intervention effect Prohexadione-Ca spray produced a high floral panicle count.
- Intervention effect Fruit retention and average fruit weight did not differ significantly among treatments.
- Intervention effect KNO3 sprayed in late September gave the highest fruit count per tree.
- Intervention effect KNO3 yielded the highest fruit pulp percentage.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid spray yielded the highest fruit ascorbic acid.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid spray yielded the highest fruit total sugar.
- Intervention effect Control trees had the lowest pulp content.
