- Intervention effect Ethephon affected maturation even where treated trees bore no fewer fruit than hand thinned controls.
- Intervention effect At comparable maturity, ethephon increased ground and flesh color a and a/b values in Richhaven fruit.
- Intervention effect At comparable maturity, ethephon increased soluble solids in Richhaven fruit.
- Intervention effect Ethephon caused no differences in ground or flesh color b values or titratable acidity.
- Intervention effect Ethephon treated fruit had more uniform firmness and color than untreated fruit at shipping maturity.
