Abstract:

The study was carried out in order to determine the effects of BA+GA 4+7 applications on fruit quality in ‘Fuji’ grafted on M9 rootstock in Isparta conditions. When fruitlets reached 10 mm diameter, trees were applied with BA+GA4+7 at 0, 100 and 150 ppm (1.8 BA+1,8%GA4+7; Perlan) two times at one-week intervals. BA+GA4+7were most effective on fruit quality, which increased fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit length and fruit shape (L/D ratio) and fruit ratio >65 mm (%) (first class fruit) compared to control. However it did not affect flesh firmness, soluble solute content (SSC), titrable acidity and a*(redness), and it did not influence fruit thinning ratio
