TY - JOUR T1 - Growth Regulators for Management of Fruit Production on American Sweetgum JF - Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO - JOA SP - 88 LP - 89 DO - 10.48044/jauf.1995.015 VL - 21 IS - 2 AU - Thomas J.

Atrimmec (dikegulac-sodium) also reduced the number of fruit produced; however, it is not currently labeled for this use. Florel reduced fruit formation by 87.7%; Atrimmec by 57%. Trim-Cut (mefluidide) did not significantly reducefruitformation. Growth regulatortreatments may be justified in certain locations to manage production of undesirable fruit. ER -
