| Pedicel CSA in fruitlets destined to abscind declined once symptoms of pending abscission became apparent. |
|
| Eggs hatch by full bloom and nymphs feed on developing fruitlets though the petal fall period. |
|
| Recently, apple fruitlets were also shown to be a rich source, and the kinins have been extracted from this tissue and concentrated. |
|
| In other years with an early bloom date, many fruitlets reach 1-inch diameters by early May. |
|
| Sawflies infest fruitlets and cause these to drop prematurely after which the pests pupate in the topsoil. |
|
| Apple scab over-winters on fallen leaves, codling moth caterpillars live in fallen apples and pear midge grubs live in fallen fruitlets. |
|
| Thinning of fruitlets by hand is often impossible due to labour cost and availability. |
|
| The larvae are yellow-white in colour, up to 4mm long and found in cavities within distorted fruitlets. |
|
| This is a composite fruit formed of 100-200 berry-like fruitlets fused together, giving its outside a tessellated appearance. |
|
| Growth of fruitlets over a few days usually indicate if the thinners worked, or whether more applications are necessary. |
|
| That the number of fruitlets formed is less than the number of pollen grains used in artificial pollination experiments might be due to inviability of some pollen grains. |
|
| The cells that will become next year's fruit buds are beginning to form when you can see this year's fruitlets, which are baby apples just starting to form. |
|
| Recently, it has been shown that young Citrus fruitlets are able to synthesize ethylene in a manner that resembles the system II pathway of the climacteric fruits. |
|
| Young fruitlets on infected terminals may become infected through the stem and turn brown, shrivel and remain firmly attached to the tree. |
|
| In spring the larvae move to fresh buds, feed in the developing buds, flowers and fruitlets, eating out the core of the latter. |
|
| If there was damage on developing pear fruitlets last year in a particular site, there likely will be again this year. |
|
| Symptoms on Crataegus monogyna included shepherd's crook shoots, necrotic flowers and fruitlets, and the presence of dried amber ooze droplets. |
|
| The first signs of injury are usually tiny punctures through the skin of the fruitlets. |
|
| Take a knife and slice across some fruitlets to count how many seeds are set. |
|
| Apply when the average diameter of king fruitlets is between 5-15 mm diameter. |
|
|
|
| Amelanchier sp. showed severely blighted flowers, fruitlets, shoots and branches, as well as bacterial ooze on the shoots. |
|
| Affected P. elaeagrifolia showed necrotic and immature fruitlets, progressive necrosis towards the adjacent branches, and cankers. |
|
| Although a higher proportion of fruitlets were thinned from the low-vigour vines after anthesis, these vines still carried higher crop loads relative to total leaf area. |
|
| The abscission process was also induced in vivo by embrioctomy or 2-chloroethyl phosphonic acid treatment in fruitlets and by deblading in leaves. |
|
| This week, many farmers were talking to their insurance adjusters and examining fruitlets on their trees for signs of the latest casualty. |
|
| So, even though individual fruitlets are free, in the context of dispersal these genera have fruits that functionally are equivalent to syncarpous fruits, far too large for effective long-distance dispersers such as birds. |
|
| After this happens, ease the pressure on heavy cropping plants by thinning the developing fruitlets further. |
|
| No feeding will be necessary until the first fruitlets are forming, then give them a liquid tomato fertiliser once a week. |
|
| The end result is that the June drop, when trees dump the fruitlets they cannot carry through to maturity, will probably be lighter this year. |
|
| Expert tip Thin out the tiny fruitlets after the risk of frost is past if you want to grow regular-size peaches, which will ripen in mid-June. |
|
| Some shedding of fruitlets takes place naturally, about a month to six weeks after full bloom, but the number remaining may have to be reduced further by hand thinning. |
|
| Effect of thinning blossoms and fruitlets on growth and cropping of sunset apple. |
|
| Be vigilant early on in the season, removing any infected fruitlets and clearing up any fallen ones and destroying them as soon as possible. |
|
| Larvae spin a silk attachment to hold the fruit onto the tree and the presence of black shrivelled fruitlets persisting on the trees seems to be a feature of attack by this species. |
|
| If the king-bloom is killed leaving several viable lateral fruitlets, thinning may become more difficult due to less differentiation in size and greater inter competition between lateral fruitlets. |
|
| Effort 2 Remove mini fig fruitlets to allow more fruits to form and ripen in time for the end of next year. |
|
| Their tiny eggs hatch when the fruitlets are minuscule, and the larvae produce winding scars under the apple skin. |
|
| The pineapple is a tropical fruit which is not actually just one fruit but a composite of many flowers whose individual fruitlets fuse together around a central core. |
|
| Most damaged fruitlets fall off and maggots go into the soil to pupate. |
