dc:description.abstract

A 2 year study was conducted to investigate the influence of Atar on young apple trees. In 1996 concentrations of 0, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 ppm of Alar were applied to 'Golden Delicious', 'York Imperial' and 'Delicious' cultivars growing outside in gallon containers.
