The experiment has been conducted to determine on optimum concentration of 6-benzyladenine and time of scoring in the sprouting and shoot growth of apple variety 'Fuji'. the two year old trees were used for this experiment. The results are as follows ;
1. The sprouting on apple stem was induced by scoring made at any time of the season tested.
2. 6-benzyladenine induced the bud burst on apple stem. The most effective concentration of 6-benzyladenine was 500 ppm.
3. 6-benzyladenine induced the bud burst more effectively when it was applied to 9∼10 bud on the main stem than it was applied to only 3 buds.
4. The shoot growth was vest when the scoring was made scoring was made on April 3 than it was made on June 3 or on August 3.
5. There was a tendency that the higher concentration of 6-benzyladenine inhibited the growth of shoots bursted out of scored buds. On the other hand, 6-benzyladenine stimulated the growth of shoots on the stem when scoring was not made, however,the effect of shoot growth induction 6-benzyladenine was not comparable to that by scoring.
