Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation Gala trees were larger than Delicious early, but Delicious were larger after nine years.
- Observation Budded trees were initially larger than untreated tissue-cultured trees.
- Observation Final trunk area of untreated tissue-cultured trees averaged 43% greater than budded trees.
- Intervention effect Paclobutrazol and uniconazole controlled Gala growth more readily than Delicious growth.
- Intervention effect Daminozide plus ethephon sprays did not affect tree size.
- Association Tree size declined as planting density increased.
- Association Triazole regulators controlled tree size more effectively at higher planting density.
- Association Flower numbers fell as planting density rose.
- Observation Budded trees generally flowered more than untreated tissue-cultured trees.
- Intervention effect Triazole regulators had little effect on Gala flowering pattern.
- Intervention effect Triazole regulators tended to stimulate young Delicious flowering transiently.
- Intervention effect Daminozide plus ethephon raised Gala flowering in the last three years.
- Intervention effect Daminozide plus ethephon consistently raised flowering of Delicious tissue-cultured trees.
- Observation Gala had higher young-tree and cumulative per-tree yields than Delicious.
- Association Yield per tree decreased as density increased, with budded and untreated tissue-cultured trees equal.
- Intervention effect Daminozide plus ethephon increased cumulative yield of Delicious but not Gala.
- Intervention effect Triazole-treated tissue-cultured trees had equal or significantly lower cumulative yield than controls.
- Intervention effect Increasing tree density did not increase yield per hectare.
- Intervention effect Triazoles improved yield efficiency in three Gala and one Delicious treatment, as trunk area fell more than per-tree yield.
