Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Paclobutrazol-treated apple trees had significantly higher photosynthesis rate (Pn) than untreated check trees.
- Mechanism The higher photosynthesis of paclobutrazol-treated apple trees is partially accounted for by higher light intensity in the canopy.
- Intervention effect Production efficiency of paclobutrazol-treated apple trees was 2.6 times higher than that of untreated check trees.
- Intervention effect Paclobutrazol significantly changed the partitioning pattern of dry matter among the parts of apple trees.
- Intervention effect Paclobutrazol-treated apple trees had a higher percentage of dry matter in the root than untreated trees, mainly in the lateral and fibrous roots.
- Intervention effect Total dry matter accumulated per m2 of occupied land was 4% greater in paclobutrazol-treated apple trees than in untreated check trees.
- Intervention effect Total dry matter accumulated per kg of leaves was essentially the same in paclobutrazol-treated and untreated apple trees.
- Intervention effect Dry matter distributed into the fruit and the root was considerably greater in paclobutrazol-treated trees than untreated trees, on both a per m2 and a per kg of leaves basis.
