Abstract

The significance of the spray application process is discussed in relation to the performance of foliar-applied plant growth regulators.
Several significant components of the process, namely, formulation, spray coverage, tree form, carrier volume, spray droplet: plant surface interaction and deposit formation are discussed as to their effects on application efficiency and fruit tree responses to growth regulators.
