Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Natural apple fruit drop occurred in two waves in both years.
- Observation The first natural fruit drop wave peaked 20 days after bloom at approximately 15% weekly abscission.
- Observation The second 2001 fruit drop wave was earlier and more intense than the previous season.
- Intervention effect NAA bloom thinning increased maximum weekly abscission in the first fruit drop wave.
- Intervention effect BA thinning in 2001 had no effect on spur fruit abscission or growth.
- Intervention effect Delayed lime sulphur thinning in 2001 had no effect on spur fruit abscission or growth.
- Intervention effect An 80% shade cloth treatment stimulated fruit abscission peaking approximately 10 to 15 days after removal.
- Intervention effect Shade at 20 to 25 days after bloom caused more fruit drop than earlier shade, reaching 70% weekly abscission.
- Intervention effect Shade plus thinning chemicals had no additive effect on spur fruit abscission.
- Intervention effect Shade plus thinning had additive effects on whole-tree crop density.
- Intervention effect Low light before thinning chemicals stimulated abscission from one-year wood.
- Intervention effect Shade at 34 to 39 days after bloom transiently reduced dry-matter accumulation in retained fruit.
- Intervention effect After the transient reduction, retained shaded fruit increased dry-matter accumulation rate.
