Physiological Study of Ethephon‑ and ACC‑Induced Fruitlet and Leaf Abscission in Peach Trees Under Diferent Conditions of Temperature
(Springer, 2022-12-16)
The efect of temperature on the ability of 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethephon, ETH) and the 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC) to induce ethylene production in fruitlets and abscission of ...
Screening of eco-friendly thinning agents and adjusting mechanical thinning on ‘Gala’, ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Fuji’ apple trees
(Elsevier, 2018-05-30)
Fruit thinning is the most important yet difficult practice that drives orchard profitability. High labor costs and difficulty to improve return bloom by hand thinning have left chemical thinning as the ...
Differential response to calcium-labelled (44Ca) uptake and allocation in two peach rootstocks in relation to transpiration under in vitro conditions
(Elsevier, 2023-11-28)
Calcium-labelled (44Ca) uptake and transport under in vitro GreenTray® temporary immersion bioreactor conditions have been studied related to aeration conditions. For this aim, Rootpac®-20 (RP-20) and ...
Effect of thinning with metamitron, NAA, BA and naphthenic acids on apple (Malus domestica) trees
(Springer, 2023-02-06)
The successful use of chemical thinners on apples requires programs employing multiple chemistries over the thinning period. A thinning program can be designed using various active ingredients in single ...
Use of root pruning, paclobutrazol, and prohexadione-Ca combination strategies to control growth and improve productivity on pear trees
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2019-07)
Growth control in pear orchards is essential, not just to reduce competition between vegetative and reproductive sinks, but also to improve return bloom, yield and fruit quality. The goal to optimize ...
Post petal fall applications of gibberellins improve fruit set on pear
(Elsevier, 2019-03-30)
Commercial pear production has become increasingly difficult over the last decade, with low fruit set being one of the main factors leading to poor yield of pear orchards. The use of gibberellins to ...
Responses of Ethylene Emission, Abscission, and Fruit Quality to the Application of ACC as a Chemical Thinner in ‘Flatbeauti’ Peach
(Springer, 2024-06-15)
Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) trees are prone to heavy cropping, but crop load management options are limited. 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) has been suggested to reduce crop load and ...
Brevis thinning efficacy at different fruit size and fluorescence on ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’ apples
(Elsevier, 2019-07-26)
Brevis thinning efficacy depends on climatic and cultivar conditions. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of one application of Brevis in ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’ apple applied at different ...
Hail nets do not affect the efficacy of metamitron for chemical thinning of apple tree
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-06-19)
Hail nets reduce photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and alter the environment under the netting in apple orchards. Thus, we investigated the effect of nets on the efficacy of metamitron, a ...
Frost Damage Mitigation in Flowers and Fruitlets of Peach and Almond from the Application of a Multi-Attribute Approach Biostimulant
(MDPI, 2024-06-08)
To prevent frost damage in fruit trees, growers employ passive and active methods, and one of these second methods is the use of biostimulant compounds against abiotic stress. In this study, two trials ...
