Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect NAA spraying of trees at full bloom reduced fruit set in apple.
- Intervention effect Spraying after petal fall caused abortion of a large proportion of developing seeds.
- Intervention effect Spraying after petal fall led to an abnormally large drop of young fruitlets.
- Observation Seeds were susceptible to NAA damage only while the endosperm was in the free nuclear stage.
- Intervention effect NAA retarded apple fruit growth, most markedly when applied later than two weeks after petal fall.
- Intervention effect Early NAA application may permanently stunt apple foliage in certain varieties.
- Intervention effect No NAA thinning treatment on individual branches of Miller’s Seedling induced fruit bud differentiation in the on year.
