The experiments on the determination of the effect of SNA spray on improving weight and size of the spring fruits of pineapples, which had been forced to flower by calcium carbide about one year after planting, were carried out in Chih pen. Li Chia, Pin Lang, Pan Chiu and Chu Lu under Taitung condition for three crop years. The concentrations of the SNAt sprays were 100, 200, 300 and 400 ppm while the amout used were abou 50cc per fruit. The dates of the spray treatments were the three ecades of February when the pineapple fruits were about half developed. In other words the spray treatments were held about 2 months before the frouit ripening. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The SNA spray could raise pineapple fruit weight by 10-45%. On the average, the mean fruit weight increment of 100ppm, 200ppm, 300ppm and 400ppm plots were 12%, 15%, 28% and 18%, respectively. and tile average fruit diameter increased b about 5%. The concentration of 300ppm may be recommended for the best results, The proper date of treatment of SNA spray was 50 to 60 days before the ripening of spring fruit. 2. The higher the numbers of fruit eye, or the bigger the fruit size originally, the greater was the effect of increasing fruit weight and size. It is shown in table S that the size 1 fruits increased fruit weight by 22%, white the weight of site S fruits was only raised 18% as compared with their check. 3. The treated fruits had a delay effect on fruit maturity. The maximum delays were shown to be about two weeks. But the delay effect fluctuated according to the difference in the effect of SNA spray on the fruit size. In other words, the better the effect on fruit weight, the greater was the effect on delaying of maturity of the fruits. It is supposed that the maturity delaying effect gave the fruit more time to develop, thus resulting in a bigger fruits. 4. The acidity of the treated fruit was decreased, and its total sugar content was also lower than that of the untreated fruits, When the fruit was harvested, the phenomenon of guttation on the broken peduncle of SNA sprayed plant was observed. It shows that SNA may have had an effect on strengthening the ability of water absorption of the plant. This caused the treated fruit to have a higher water content and a high percentage of fresh sound fruits, which are known by the pineapple grower here to have good quality. According to the inspection data of the canned fruits, their quality seemed t9 he not much different among the treated and untreated plots. 5. The diameter of the core of the treated fruit was larger than that of the untreated one. Since the development of the fruit eyes was different between the treated and untreated part, a partial spray of SNA could cause the deformity of the fruit. This is why on even diatribution of SNA spray on the surface of the fruit is very important. 6. The appearance of the sucker of the treated plant was a little slower than that of the untreated one. But they had the same fruiting percentage. This indicated that SNA spray may have no detrimental effect on the yield of the 1st ratoon. |
