ISHS Acta Horticulturae 120: Symposium on Growth Regulators in Fruit Production
PHYSIOLOGICAL MODEL - A CITRUS HARVEST AID FOR 'VALENCIA' FRUITS |
| Authors: | R.H. Biggs, S.V. Kossuth |
| Abstract:
A model is presented to demonstrate the interrelationships between abscission of Valencia oranges induced by 'Release' (5-chloro-3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole) and environmental factors, the physiological state of the fruit, the metabolism of the compound, and the stimulation of endogenous ethylene production. Such a model could help the grower decide when the use of 'Release' is justified. | |
