The experiment was designed to evaluate NAA, over a range of concentrations (15, 20 and 30 ppm) when applied alone, and BA + NAA combinations (BA--60, 100, 120 or 140 ppm + NAA 5 ppm) for thinning the assessed apple cultivars. All the applied treatments with NAA and BA + NAA adequately thinned "Senabija" and "Ko2ara", whereas application of NAA 20 ppm and 30 ppm and combined treatment BA 140 ppm + NAA 5 ppm were effective fruit thinners for "Pasinka". In terms of the average fruit weight and number of fruits categorized as large (〉 75 mm or 〉 65 ram), as well as from the aspect of fruit number per trunk cross-sectional area, the variant of treatment BA 140 ppm + NAA 5 ppm was most effective on "Senabija" and "Paginka", whereas BA 100 ppm + NAA 5 ppm had the best effect on "Kozara".展开更多
