Summary: The objectives of this project were to evaluate synthetic auxins and several calcium-containing products as blossom thinners for Fuji and Gala apples, determine the effects of Apogee treatments on growth characteristics, stomatal conductance, and CHO and N partitioning , determine the effect of Apogee on shoot growth, fruit quality, and cropping of superspindle Gala/M9 trees in high density plantings, and determine absorption, withdrawal, and remobilisation of foliar Urea N.
