Growth Regulators Boost Size in Royal Ann Cherries
Two Oregon State College horticulturists report a three year test on Royal Ann trees showing that certain growth regulator sprays can raise fruit weight by about one third and increase blossoms. Tests using Duraset PCPA NOA and 2 4 5-T, applied at 450 gallons per acre, found 2 4 5-T and NOA PCPA mixtures most promising, though long term effects require more study.
