Effect
Increased produce quality
In Auxym treated sweet cherry there was a significant increase in fruit yield, but it was due to the stimulation of different yield components in the different cultivars, Kordia anbd Regina, compared to the untreated control. In the Kordia cultivar, the biostimulant enhanced fruit calcium concentration by 26.2%, soluble solids content by 11.8%, flesh firmness by 6.7% and skin colour by 12.0%, but the Regina cultivar was less responsive in these respects.
