Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Pinching gave 24 kg A grade fruit per vine versus 6 kg without pinching.
- Intervention effect Pinching gave 17 kg B grade fruit per vine versus 13 kg without pinching.
- Intervention effect Pinched vines had higher fruit soluble solids, 16.10 °B versus 14.95 °B.
- Intervention effect GA3 fruit dipping did not significantly increase A and B grade yields beyond pinching.
- Intervention effect 2,4 D fruit dipping did not significantly increase A and B grade yields beyond pinching.
- Recommendation The authors recommend repeated 20 percent shoot pinching to maximize A grade fruit for sale.
