ISHS Acta Horticulturae 149: Flowering and Fruit Set in Fruit Trees
DELAYING FLOWERING AND IMPROVING THE YIELDS OF VICTORIA PLUM WITH PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR SPRAYS |
| Author: | A.D. Webster |
| Abstract:
High-volume sprays of ethephon to Victoria plums, just prior to leaf-fall in the autumn, delayed blossoming by several days in the following spring. Blossom quality and fruit set were frequently poorer on the ethephon-sprayed trees than on the controls, but the addition of GA3 to the ethephon sprays overcame the effects on flower quality and increased yields. | |
