Detailed Explanation of the Role of Hormones in Preserving Flowers and Fruits of Jujube Trees
The Role of Hormones in Preserving Flowers and Fruits of Jujube Trees
For jujube trees, spraying 5 parts per million of gibberellin at the early stage of full bloom, that is, when 5 to 8 flowers have opened on the fruiting branches, can significantly increase the fruit-setting rate. To improve the effectiveness of gibberellin, adhesives such as laundry detergent can be added, and it can be applied together with a 0.3 to 0.5% urea solution.
In addition, spraying 10 parts per million of 2,4-D during the young fruit stage can reduce fruit drop. However, when the concentration of 2,4-D exceeds 80 parts per million, it will cause phytotoxicity, and in severe cases lead to leaf drop and fruit drop.
