EFFECT OF PACLOBUTRAZOL ON VEGETATIVE AND REPRODUCTIVE GROWTH OF "LISBON" LEMON |
| Authors: | N. Smeirat, M. Qrunfleh |
| Abstract:
Sixteen 6-year-old "Lisbon" lemon trees were sprayed with various concentrations of paclobutrazol twice in the 1986 season. Paclobutrazol at 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm significantly reduced shoot and internode length and increased shoot diameter in the spring and the summer of 1986. In the spring of 1987, paclobutrazol residues from the 1000 and 2000 ppm treatments reduced shoot and internode length and increased shoot diameter. Paclobutrazol at 2000 ppm significantly reduced node number. Initial and final fruit set were significantly increased only in the year of paclobutrazol application. | |
