Popis: SummaryThe application of 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (CEPA) at 750 or 1500 ppm improved the colour of early harvested Worcester Pearmain apples but greatly increased pre-harvest drop. The drop-promoting effect of CEPA could be overcome by applying succinic acid 2,2-dimethyl hydrazide (aminozide) at 2000 ppm or a-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)-propionic acid (2,4,5-TP) at 20 ppm. The combination of CEPA 750 ppm+2,4,5-TP 20 ppm appeared to be particularly promising for improving the attractiveness, flavour and texture of Worcester Pearmain picked on 1st September and 7th September. No damage was seen on the trees either in the year of application or the following year.
