abstract

The maturity of table Thompson Seedless was not affected in these tests by the time of application of berry-enlarging sprays of gibberellin, whether the sprays were applied when the grapes were at the shatter stage or at one, two, or three weeks after shatter. The shatter and shatter-plus-one-week treatments did produce larger berries than did the two later spray treatments.
