Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect All foliar applications increased average fruit weight of pear over the distilled-water control.
- Intervention effect Foliar 6-BA or the combination of potassium phosphate and calcium chloride increased fruit weight more than potassium phosphate or calcium chloride alone.
- Intervention effect Fruit palatability, measured as the sugar to acid ratio, was significantly lower in the 6-BA, potassium phosphate and calcium chloride treatments than in the control.
- Intervention effect All foliar treatments increased vitamin C content over the control.
- Intervention effect Potassium phosphate alone and 6-BA treatments had no effect on fruit storage quality.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that foliar 0.3% potassium phosphate + 0.3% calcium chloride or 1 mg/L 6-BA can increase average fruit weight and improve fruit palatability.
