Abstract

Abstract Two experimental growth regulators, CGA-15281 (beta-chloroethyl-methyl-bis-benzyloxy-silane) and an analogue, CGA-17856, induced leaf abscission in peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch). Responses paralleled temperature following treatment. Older leaves were more responsive than younger ones and abscission occurred prior to leaf senescence. Applications prior to rainfall indicated about 6 hours without wetting was needed for maximum chemical activity. CGA-17856 tended to cause more leaf abscission than CGA-15281.
