Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Seedling stage ethephon reduced internode length in both cultivars.
- Intervention effect Ethephon increased the rate and total cumulative fruit number in the monoecious cultivar relative to untreated plants.
- Intervention effect Preflowering ethephon caused simultaneous development of numerous lateral shoots in both cultivars.
- Intervention effect Preflowering treatment significantly increased node number, especially on side branches.
- Intervention effect Preflowering treatments generally produced more fruits than seedling treatments and control.
- Intervention effect Preflowering 150 ppm ethephon increased cumulative fruit number at all nine harvests in the monoecious cultivar.
- Intervention effect Preflowering 250 and 350 ppm ethephon increased cumulative fruit number at all nine harvests in the gynoecious cultivar.
- Intervention effect Ethephon lowered fruit set percentage in the monoecious cultivar.
