Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Fruits on lower and upper halves of Alar-treated 'Dixon' peach trees were more uniformly colored at harvest than fruits from non-sprayed trees.
- Intervention effect Alar advanced maturity of 'Dixon' peach fruits by approximately 6 days.
- Intervention effect Fruits from trees with only the lower half treated were more uniform than the controls.
- Intervention effect In trees with only the lower half treated, maturity was advanced only 2 to 3 days.
- Intervention effect Alar treatment lowered acid in peach fruits as evidence of advanced maturity.
- Intervention effect Alar treatment increased soluble solids in peach fruits as evidence of advanced maturity.
- Intervention effect At the same stage of ripeness, Alar-treated fruits were firmer than fruits from check trees.
- Intervention effect Alar advanced maturity of 'Independence' nectarine fruits by 2 days.
- Intervention effect Alar advanced maturity of 'Fay Elberta' peach fruits by 5 days.
- Intervention effect With earlier ripening induced by Alar, rates of CO2 and ethylene evolution began to increase early in the treated fruits.
