Features: To change the traditional fruit cultivation techniques in China, the application of plant growth regulators has become one of the important technical measures. This book addresses the problems in fruit production technology, providing detailed explanations of specific chemical control methods for different tree species (including peach, apple, pear, apricot, citrus, loquat, waxberry, sandalwood, cherry, grape, strawberry, kiwifruit, longan, banana, lychee, and more than 20 other species). It covers aspects such as controlling dormancy, regulating growth, sex control of flowers, preventing organ abscission, promoting fruit development, ripening control (early or delayed), post-harvest preservation, storage, transportation, and sales. At the end of the book, there are supplementary materials including: (1) information on manufacturers and purchasing channels for nearly 70 plant growth regulators, and (2) methods for preparing and referencing the concentrations of plant growth regulators. This book is suitable for grassroots agricultural technicians, fruit farmers, and business owners, as well as serving as a reference for teachers and students in agricultural secondary schools.
