Abstract
Abstract Applications of 6-benzylamino purine (BA) and gibberellin A 4 + 7 (GA 4 + 7 ) over a period of 3 years significantly increased primary and secondary branching and total shoot growth of 6 apple cultivars ( Malus domestica Borkh.) from the first through the fourth growing seasons in the field. In spur-type ‘Delicious’ and ‘McIntosh’, BA + GA 4 + 7 was more effective than deblossoming, pruning, or branch spreading in inducing lateral branching.
