Göemar BM treated Pear, cv. William's, grown in an orchard had on average 2.3 % more flowers/cluster at full bloom, 16.5 % less fruits/cluster 14 days after full bloom, 9.6 % less fruits/cluster 42 days after full bloom, had at harvest a 2.8 % bigger fruit diameter, 10.1 % heavier fruits, 33.5 % more seeds/fruit, a 4.4 % higher crop density, a 9 % higher total yield, a 19.7 % higher yield efficiency, fruits contained 3.4 % less soluble solids, 10.9 % more starch and were 1 % more firm, leaves contained 4.2 % more chlorophyll, had a 9 % bigger surface and were 1.3 % heavier compared to the untreated control. The BM2 application timing had most effect on the growth and production of pear.
