Abstract
To enhance the productivity of Carya illinoinensis cv. ‘Shaoxing’ and mitigate the loss of flowers and fruits, the effects of different concentrations of Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) wettable powder (2, 5, and 10 g·L–1) and Paclobutrazol (PP333) (150, 300, and 450 mg·L–1, based on active ingredients) on 6-year-old ‘Shaoxing’ plants were investigated with water sprayed as the control. The results showed that: (1) Treatment with 10 g·L–1 PBO and 450 mg·L–1 PP333 significantly inhibited the excessive growth of ‘Shaoxing’ branches. Also, 10 g·L–1 PBO exhibited the best diameter increment effect on fruiting branches, and 150 mg·L–1 PP333 exhibited the best diameter… More >
