Implications of nighttime temperature on metamitron impacts on the photosynthet...
Rosa, Nídia; Lidon, Fernando C.; Rodrigues, Ana P.; Pais, Isabel P.; Scotti-Campos, Paula; Asín, Luís; Oliveira, Cristina M.; Ramalho, José C.Metamitron (MET) is a fruitlet thinning compound for apple trees, needing better understanding of its action on leaf energy metabolism, depending on nighttime temperature. A trial under environmental controlled conditions was set with ‘Golden Reinders’ potted trees, under 25/7.5 and 25/15 ◦C (diurnal/nighttime temperature), with (MET, 247.5 ppm) or without (CTR) application, and considering the monitoring of ph...
Effects of metamitron under different relative humidity conditions on the fruit...
Rosa, Nídia; Verjans, Wim; Ávila, Glória; Carbó, Joaquim; Bonany, Joan; Ramalho, José C.; Asín, Luís; Oliveira, Cristina M.Metamitron is an apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) fruit thinner that acts by reducing the photosynthetic capacityof trees. Relativehumiditymayinfluence thinningefficacy; however, thebroadness of this effect is not yet fully understood. Trials were set in Sint-Truiden (Belgium) in 2018 and Lleida and Girona (Spain) in 2019, using 4-year-old cvs. Braeburn and Elstar trees in Belgium, and 16-year-old cv. GoldenReind...
