Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Ethephon increased fruit recovery by shaking compared with controls.
- Intervention effect At least 1 000 ppm ethephon reduced cluster pull force more effectively than lower concentrations after five to seven days.
- Observation Sultana gave the highest fruit recovery in the first season.
- Intervention effect Sultana alone responded to ethephon in both seasons, with a weaker response in the second.
- Intervention effect At 2 000 ppm ethephon removed 94% of Sultana clusters.
- Intervention effect At 2 000 ppm ethephon removed 79% of Riesling clusters.
- Intervention effect At 2 000 ppm ethephon removed 85% of Trebbiano clusters.
- Intervention effect At 2 000 ppm ethephon removed 70% of Ondenc clusters.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at 500 ppm or higher caused defoliation that increased with concentration during the first 10-14 days.
- Intervention effect Ethephon did not kill or disbud grape canes.
- Intervention effect Ethephon accelerated natural autumn defoliation by about two weeks.
