The effect of paclobutrazol sprays with or without the addition of surfactants on the shoot growth, yield and fruit quality of the apple cultivars Cox and Suntan

Influence of pre‐harvest calcium, potassium and triazole application on the proteome of apple at harvest

“…). Several studies also showed an effect on fruit set depending on the actual compound used . Similar results were described by Palmer et al who reported increased yield and advanced maturity for light cropping trees while Wünsche et al only reported earlier maturation due to low crop load.…”

“…In apple, the carbohydrate content was increased after application of paclobutrazol . Studies on the application of paclobutrazol to different apple cultivars during and after full bloom, showed a reduced fruit set, crop load and total yield . Diffuse browning disorder of Cox's Orange Pippin apples was induced by the application of triazole derivatives, and triazole increased browning incidence also in Braeburn …”

Análise morfofisiológica de microplântulas de Cattleya labiata Lindley e Cattleya eldorado Linden (Orchidaceae) sob efeito do paclobutrazol

“…No interior da planta, o PBZ apresenta a mesma rota passiva por translocação apoplástica que a água absorvida do solo (BARRETT & BARTUSKA, 1982;WATSON, 2001), com pouco ou nenhum movimento no floema (RICHARDSON et al, 1986), constituindo assim um movimento acrópeto. O acúmulo do PBZ ocorre principalmente na raiz e tecido foliar, sendo rápidas sua absorção e circulação no tecido, com níveis significativos dentro de 12 horas de tratamento (EARLY e MARTIN, 1988).…”

Plant Growth Substances

“…In addition, paclobutrazol is also registered for use on peach, nectarine, cherry, apricot, plum, and olive trees in 11 countries outside the United States. Other benefits gained by using paclobutrazol are mite control (Raese and Burts 1983;Dheim and Browning 1988a) and increases in floral bud initiation (Richardson et al 1986;Dheim and Browning 1988a). Paclobutrazol can also be used to increase fruitlet abscission when applied at full bloom or shortly before (Dheim and Browning 1988b).…”
