The effects of concentration, timing of application, plant part exposed to the chemical and tree age on the response of durians (cv. Chanee) to paclobutrazol (PBZ) were studied in field trials in 1988 and 1989 in a private orchard in Klaeng district, Rayong province, Thailand. No significant differences were observed in the flowering or fruiting characteristics of durian trees sprayed with PBZ at 0, 500 or 1000 ppm, irrespective of the plant part exposed to the chemical.
