Results showed that pruning treatments and spraying Grofalcs and Zeatin treatments and their interactions caused a significant increase in GA3, IAA, Zeatin, total chlorophyll in leaves, total yield of tree, total soluble solids, vitamin C and fruit firmness, and decrease in fruit fall, fruit cracking percentage compared with control treatment.
