Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Primocane growth rate initially fell after ProCa application but resumed after three to four weeks.
- Intervention effect A second ProCa application was necessary for permanent cane height reduction.
- Intervention effect Two ProCa treatments reduced Glen Ample primocane growth by 25 to 28 cm.
- Intervention effect Two ProCa treatments reduced Glen Ample dry weight by 18 to 26%.
- Intervention effect Two 200 ppm ProCa applications reduced Tulameen primocane growth by 15 cm.
- Intervention effect Two 200 ppm ProCa applications reduced Tulameen cane dry weight by 19%.
- Intervention effect ProCa-treated raspberry plants initially produced shorter internodes than controls.
- Intervention effect After growth resumed, treated raspberry plants produced longer new internodes than controls.
- Intervention effect Repeated ProCa applications reduced Glen Ample lateral shoot number.
- Intervention effect Repeated ProCa applications slightly delayed Glen Ample flowering.
- Mechanism The authors suggested altered gibberellic acid metabolism interfered with flower induction.
- Intervention effect ProCa did not change total flowers per cane in Glen Ample.
- Intervention effect ProCa did not change total flowers per cane in Tulameen.
- Recommendation The authors considered ProCa useful for controlling primocane growth without affecting cropping potential.
- Recommendation The authors cautioned that ProCa application timing and number are crucial.
