MINERAL CONTENT AND STORAGE ABILITY OF APPLES FROM TREES TREATED WITH CHEMICAL THINNERS AND RETARDANTS |
| Author: | W. Guzewski |
| Abstract:
Apple trees cvs Lobo and McIntosh were sprayed with chemical thinners and Gloster trees were treated with retardants. Apples were then analyzed for mineral contents after storage. Fruits from the trees treated with NAA and carbaryl had a higher content of Ca in comparison to the control. Fruits of Gloster from the paclobutrazol treatments, which caused a strong retardation of elongation growth, had the best mineral composition and were less affected by storage disorders. | |
