- Intervention effect A November double dose increased four-year cumulative yield by 30%.
- Intervention effect An April double dose increased four-year cumulative yield by 39%.
- Observation More than 70% of the net yield increase was large fruit.
- Intervention effect Only November double-dose nitrogen increased four-year average yield.
- Intervention effect January double-dose nitrogen did not significantly affect average or cumulative yield or fruit size.
- Intervention effect February double-dose nitrogen did not significantly affect average or cumulative yield or fruit size.
- Intervention effect June double-dose nitrogen did not significantly affect average or cumulative yield or fruit size.
- Intervention effect April double-dose nitrogen reduced alternate bearing severity.
- Association Yield was not significantly correlated with leaf nitrogen concentration.
- Association At equal nitrogen amounts, application timing was more important than application rate.
