| Description | A single spray of either $GA_{3}$ or $GA_{4+7}$at full bloom reduced the severity of the biennial bearing cycle of 'Braeburn' apples, measured as the proportion of flowering spurs over the 2 years following treatment. Increasing the concentration of $GA_{3}$ applied in the light‐flowering year linearly reduced trie proportion of flowering spurs in the following year and linearly increased the proportion of flowering spurs 2 years after application. The highest rate of GA, (330 ppm) was not enough to eliminate any differences in the proportion of flowering spurs between light and heavy flowering years. All GA treatments elongated the fruit in the year of treatment. |
