“…It also showed that the use of phytohormones alone or pinching alone was not effective enough in these conditions. This is in accordance with results of Neri et al (2004) who successfully used a very similar technique of single deblading and its combination with BA application.…”

“…Most studies of the branching ability of sweet cherries have been done with vigorous rootstocks or in hotter and more climatically favourable regions (Hrotkó et al 1999;Neri et al 2004;Elfving, Visser 2006b;Koyuncu, Yildirim 2008;Moghadam, Zamanipour 2013). Evidence of effective treatments applicable to often suboptimal temperate zone conditions and to trees on lowvigour rootstocks is scarce (Baryla et al 2014).…”

“…Of the many chemicals tested by Wolf et al (2018), the most effective and available branching agent was the cytokinin 6-benzyladenine (BA) often applied with gibberellins GA 4/7 or GA 3 (Hrotkó et al 1998;Hrotkó et al 1999;Elfving, Visser 2006a;Koyuncu, Yildirim 2008;Moghadam, Zamanipour 2013). Leaf pinching is a mechanical method that removes (by pinching out) some of the youngest leave blades while the growing tip (meristem) stays intact (Neri et al 2004). Another mechanical method that occasionally can be used for prolepsis induction is the notching of one-year-old whips at the end of winter (Greene, Autio 1994;Elfving, Visser 2007;von Bennewitz et al 2014).…”

The promising branching agent cyclanilide [1-(2,4-dichlorophenylaminocarbonyl)-cyclopropane carboxylic acid] is not permitted in the EU and the low vigour rootstocks preferred by growers make the branching of young sweet cherry (Prunus avium) trees difficult in the temperate zone production regions. To increase the number and length of new branches (“feathers”) on such trees, chemical (6-benzyladenine [BA], gibberellic acid [GA<sub>4/7</sub>]), mechanical (leaf pinching, summer notching) and various combined treatments were tested from 2015–2018. The numbers of feathers divided into three different lengths (1–10 cm, 10–30 cm and > 30 cm) were assessed as the main indicator of quality, supplemented with other morphological characteristics. Summer notching induced an insufficient number of feathers and led to some negative effects on the trees. The number of feathers from BA or BA with GA<sub>4/7</sub> treatment also was insufficient. The effect of pinching alone was variable. The number of all feathers generally was highest when pinching was combined with BA, regardless of the year or cultivar.

“…Cytokinins such as benzyladenine (BA), alone or in combination with gibberellins, have been used to overcome apical dominance and stimulate the development of lateral shoots, with positive results in many countries (Jaumien et al, 2002). They are successfully applied for different fruit crops (Magyar & Hrotko, 2005;Neri et al, 2004). Preliminary results have confirmed that Arbolin 036 SL promotes branching in nursery apple trees.…”

This study was carried out in two independent experiments on one year old sweet cherry (Prunus avium L. cvs. "Siah Mashhad" and "Dovomras") nursery trees with the main purpose of improving lateral shoot formation and increasing the quality of trees. In the first experiment, heading treatments (0, 40, 60 and 80 cm above ground) and in the second experiment, Arbolin treatments (0, 5, 15, 25 mL·L -1 ) was investigated. Trees were treated with foliar sprays of Arbolin in 2 times at 7-days intervals in mid-June. At the end of the growing season, the tree quality was measured on the basis of their diameter and height of trees, number, length and angels of lateral shoots. A factorial experiment was laid out in a completely randomized block design with 3 replications where each plot contained 10 trees. Results showed that all of the treatments increased the number of laterals in comparison with the control. The cultivars had different response to the treatments. Heading in 60 cm was the best treatment for improving total number of lateral shoots. The result of second experiment showed that there were significant differences between cultivars and Arbolin treatments. The number of lateral shoots enhanced with application of higher concentrations and repeated Arbolin treatments in both cultivars. Arbolin treatments had more significant effect on the number and length of lateral shoots than heading treatments.

“…BA has been used to overcome apical dominance and stimulate the development of lateral shoots (Jaumien et al, 2002), BA stimulated vegetative growth (Dal Cin et al, 2007;Elfving and Cline, 1993), BA appear to be the most efficient in inducing branching (Elfving, 1985;Keever, 1995;Keever and Morrison, 2003). Neri et al(2004), reported that a more pronounced branching effect in young sweet cherry trees could be achieved by applying BA. 100 mg L −1 BA foliar application on jojoba plants resulted in a stimulation of the branching and increased floral buds production (Prat et al, 2008).…”

Foliar applications of benzyladenine (0, 100 and 150 mg L −1) are studied as a potential way to increase production of branches for young plants of three jojoba clones (S-700, S-1300 and S-118) grown in sandy soil under drip irrigation system from well at El-Maghara Research Station, Desert Research Center, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt. Benzyladenine (BA) was applied four times a year starting on 1 st May, (2015 and 2016) with one-month intervals in both seasons. Vegetative growth parameters, flower buds production and seed yield were statistically different between clones. The total number of branches, the flower number and seed yield in three clones were significantly increased by treatment with BA. In general, a higher BA concentration resulted in highest number of branches. The increase in the production of flower buds and the yield of seed was correlated with the increase in the production of branches. Moreover, clone S-700 showed the highest positive response to foliar applications of BA.
