Summary

Apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh. cv "Starkspur Golden") were treated 25 days after full bloom (DAFB) with paclobutrazol (PBZ) as a soil-drench application. After 2 years, fruits were picked 158 (commercial harvest), 172 and 181 DAFB from treated and untreated trees, with fruit taken at commercial harvest being stored in air at 2 deg C and 90% relative humidity. During ripening and after 5 and 7 months of storage, treated and untreated apples were analysed for odour-active volatiles, by using either static or dynamic headspace samplings and capillary gas chromatography. Results are given.
