Increase in the number of buds with \u2018flor campanera\u2019<\/strong> (see image 1), a single flower surrounded by a large number of leaves. This is the most desirable type of floral budding in citrus plants, given that it leads to better fruit set and subsequent fruit growth. As well as an increase in buds with flor campanera, it was observed that <strong class=\"titulo--producto\">BROTOMAX<span class=\"superindice\">\u00ae<\/span><\/strong> <strong class=\"negro\">does not have a significant effect on the number of mixed buds<\/strong>, the second type of floral budding which is also of interest from a perspective of the development of fruit produced.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong class=\"negro\">2. The development of new vegetative buds in the following spring\u2019s budding<\/strong>, also contributing to an increase in leaf to flower ratio.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong class=\"negro\">3. A reduction in the number of multi-flower (flower clusters) and mono-flower (single flower) buds without leaves<\/strong> (see image 2). These buds, with a low <strong class=\"negro\">leaf to flower ratio<\/strong>, are the least productive, producing low-quality fruits with a low capacity to develop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These results have been shown in a study carried out by a group of researchers at the IRTA (Institute for Research and Technology in Food and Agriculture). The results following a single foliar application of <strong class=\"titulo--producto\">BROTOMAX<span class=\"superindice\">\u00ae<\/span><\/strong> at 0.5%, on \u2018Nave Late\u2019 oranges are shown in table 1 below.<\/p>\n<p>TABLE 1.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1160 size-full margen--bottom\" src=\"https:\/\/www.agrometodos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tabla-2-en.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"888\" height=\"584\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To summarise, a <strong class=\"negro\">single application of <strong class=\"titulo--producto\">BROTOMAX<span class=\"superindice\">\u00ae<\/span><\/strong> in autumn leads to better control (more qualitative than quantitative) of budding and flowering the following year<\/strong> through a <strong class=\"negro\">redistribution of types of budding to a \u2018flor campanera\u2019<\/strong>, reducing the number of mono- and multi-flower buds with poorer fruit development, and increasing the number of new plant buds and the leaf to flower ratio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certain varieties of citrus plants present high flowering levels which do not subsequently lead to larger fruit yields, and thus require autumnal treatments to correct the issue.
