Newly devised spray keeps apples on trees in Iowa
Iowa commercial growers can prevent premature fruit drop by spraying a new synthetic hormone substance mixed with water. Edgecombe, State College extension horticulturist, says the spray delays drop by about two weeks and yields larger, fully ripened fruit. Applied as apples begin to fall, it blocks the abscission layer at the fruit spur. Several dropping sprays exist, with material available through the Town Fruit Growers Association at the State House in Des Moines.

Apples Dec Harvest Proves Better For Growers
Horticulturist HL Lanta of Iowa State Cottage says apple growers should sell at harvest rather than store. Prices may rise in spring but storage costs and foreign market losses offset gains. Western states like Illinois Indiana and Ohio are also short, pushing national crop down and delaying Iowa harvest.
