Abstract
The total dry weights of greenhouse grown apple trees, taken 102 days after being sprayed with 1000 or 2000 ppm of Alar, was reduced. Alar at these rates caused an accumulation of photosynthate in the older stem and roots with a reduced growth of new wood. Trees harvested 182 days after treatment demonstrated that the inhibiting effects of Alar were dissipated. Those trees had made more total growth than the controls, the increase occurring as renewed terminal growth. Raising the concentration of Alar to 4000 ppm slightly increased the total dry weight after 53 days, the greater growth occurring in the older woody tissues. Little further growth took place 102 and 182 days after treatment. There was no indication that the inhibiting effects of Alar at 4000 ppm were lost in any tissue 182 days after application.
