Abstract
Abstract Succinic-acid-2,2-dimethylhydrazide (SADH) applications hastened the maturity of peach fruit when trees were sprayed during fruit growth stages I, II and III. The greatest hastening of fruit maturity was evident with high concn of SADH (4000 and 8000 ppm) applied between the mid-point and the end of stage I. The optimum concn during stage II for hastening maturity was 1000 ppm. Applications of SADH in stage III hastened fruit color development but had little effect on other indices of maturation. Five of 6 SADH analogues were effective in hastening fruit maturation when applied in the first half of stage II. The growth retardants Amo 1618 and £CC did not hasten peach fruit maturation.
