Abstract
Mixtures of Bromodine and 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethephon) were often superior to either chemical used alone for prestorage stimulation of leaf abscission of tree fruit nursery stock. Environmental conditions favorable to natural leaf abscission reduced the advantage of a mixture. Ethephon injury was observed at 500 and 1000 ppm on species previously undamaged at much higher rates.
