e0“combining sucrose with urea resulted in certain unfavourable responses Fruit ripening was delayed, fruit set was normal, but the proportion was low of fruits that developed in size beyond the early post-setting stage, and total yield of fruit was reduced”

- Observation Sprayed urea was absorbed and utilized by leaves.
- Intervention effect Urea spray retarded fruit maturity versus root feeding.
- Intervention effect Urea spray depressed leaf C/N ratio versus root feeding.
- Observation There was no direct evidence of sucrose absorption.
- Intervention effect Adding equimolar sucrose reduced foliar injury caused by urea spray.
- Intervention effect Combined urea and sucrose spray increased development of plant tops.
- Intervention effect Combined spray produced abnormally large stem starch accretion.
- Intervention effect Combined spray produced abnormally large soluble carbon accretion in fruits.
- Intervention effect Combining sucrose with urea delayed fruit ripening.
- Observation Fruit set was normal under combined spray.
- Observation A low proportion of fruits grew beyond early post-setting stage under combined spray.
