Abstract
Growth regulating chemicals were applied to 'Maygold' and 'Flordasun' peach trees to test their influence on fruit development and ma turity. 2-Chloroethyl-phosphonic acid (Ethrel) treatment resulted in substantial acceleration of Florida Agricultural Experiment Station Journal Series No. 3399. Hn partial fulfillment of requirements for the MSA degree. maturity and enhanced color without adversely affecting quality. Treatments of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) increased yield at early harvest dates and increased red color, but the red coloration was splotchy. Fruit firmness and storage life were not changed by 2,4,5-T treatments. Neither N6-benzyladenine (BA) nor naphthaleneacetamide (NAD) caused any defin ite changes in the maturity indices measured. Gibberellic acid (GA) reduced yields and indi cated trends of delaying maturity.
