Summary

In three trials over three years, foliar BA applications for fruitlet thinning of Malus domestica, Borkh trees produced small and inconsistent effects on flesh firmness at harvest and after air storage. Soluble solids concentrations at harvest and after air storage were consistently increased by BA alone or together with BA plus gibberellins A4 and A7, and were also increased by 1-naphthalenyl methylcarbamate in one trial. Other results are given.
