Abstract
Prolonged periods of dry-soil conditions during July, Aug., and Sept. because of infrequent irrigations or none affected Royal apricot trees by (a) limiting the number of flower buds differentiated; (b) delaying the time of differentiation of many of the flower buds; and (c) slowing the rate of development of buds which were differentiated at about the normal time.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
