Abstract
1. Maleic hydrazide (MH) spray delayed spring growth of Valencia orange and grapefruit trees when applied during late winter at concentrations of 1,000 p.p.m. or 500 p.p.m. but not at 100 p.p.m. 2. Fruit of Valencia orange trees sprayed in late winter showed a correlation between the concentration of MH in the spray and the total soluble solids in the juice. Other factors of fruit quality were not apparently altered. No effects were noted in the quality of fruit from sprayed grapefruit trees. Fruit of the succeeding crop of Valencia oranges had a smaller mean diameter. 3. Fruit of Washington Navel orange trees sprayed with MH at bloom or later showed a reduction in mean fruit size, but there was more fruit per tree on sprayed than on unsprayed trees. Severe modifications of fruit in the form of thickened peel and absence of juice vesicles were found in small fruit from trees sprayed at bloom. The quality of the fruit from trees sprayed at bloom was altered, and off-flavor was detected. When trees were sprayed several weeks after bloom, no effects on quality of fruit juice were noted.
