Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Neither carbaryl nor 6-BA reduced early overall fruit set in Royal Gala.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl reduced Royal Gala spur sites setting three or more fruit.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl increased Royal Gala spur sites setting only one fruit.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl increased mean Royal Gala fruit weight at harvest.
- Intervention effect Early 6-BA thinning in Braeburn was effective only on spur clusters.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl reduced Braeburn overall fruit set at both treatment times, particularly on spur clusters.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl reduced Jonagold overall fruit set at two of three application times.
- Intervention effect 6-BA had little effect on Jonagold overall fruit set.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl reduced Jonagold fruit set more effectively on lateral clusters than spurs.
- Intervention effect Late 6-BA enhanced Braeburn return flowering on spurs and laterals.
- Intervention effect Late carbaryl enhanced Braeburn return flowering on spurs and laterals.
- Intervention effect Neither chemical promoted return flowering on Braeburn spurs that had fruited that year.
- Intervention effect 6-BA appeared to enhance Jonagold return flowering, especially on spurs that had not cropped.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl appeared to enhance return flowering most on strong, exposed Jonagold spurs that bore fruit.
- Association The presence of even one fruit greatly reduced the chance of return flowering on a Jonagold spur.
- Intervention effect Fruit set per return flower cluster tended to be higher in Jonagold trees treated with carbaryl the prior season.
- Intervention effect Neither chemical enhanced Royal Gala return flowering.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl increased specific leaf weight at Jonagold spur and lateral fruiting sites.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl increased leaf number and bourse length on fruiting Jonagold spurs.
