RUSSETING AND CRACKING OF APPLE FRUIT (GOLDEN)
KCC answer
In accordance with results from several other countries, excellent control of russeting has been achieved in Cox, Discovery and Golden Delicious using the gibberellin mixture of A4 and A7. Our results have indicated that GA4/7, at a concentration of between 2.5 and 10 mg/ l depending on cultivar, should be applied 3 or 4 times at 10-day intervals starting during the period first-flower to petal-fall to achieve satisfactory control
