The yield was kg/tree in control plants and kg/tree in GA3-treated plants in the ‘on’ year. The yield was kg/tree in GA3-treated plants and kg/tree in control plants in the ‘off ’ year. While GA3 treatment was not very effective on the decrease of fruit amount in the ‘on’ year, it increased fruit amount in the ‘off ’ year. Moreover, GA3 treatment did not significantly affect total reducing sugar amount, but it affected endogenous hormones. Total reducing sugar amount was determined at the 4% level in both years (‘on’ and ‘off ’). Glucose content was determined to be higher than sucrose and fructose in all plant organs and during flower bud formation periods (induction, initiation, and differentiation). Furthermore, GA3 treatment increased abscisic acid, GA3, indole-3-acetic acid, and zeatin levels during flower bud formation periods and in all plant organs (leaf, node, and fruit) in both years.
