With respect to crop levels, only three--isobutyl alcohol, terpinolene and diethyl succinate (the latter was only detected in HC treatment)--differed between HC and FC in 2011.

Ethyl phenyl acetate increased both years relative to harvest date, while diethyl succinate decreased in 2011 and increased in 2012.

In 2012 there were crop reduction-related increases in 1-hexanol, ethyl caprylate, ethyl caproate, 2-phenethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl acetate and benzaldehyde, while reductions also occurred in diethyl acetal and diethyl succinate. 1-Heptanol and decanal were detected in 2012 only, with a reduction and increase, respectively, with crop reduction.

Diethyl acetal and diethyl succinate increased with increased harvest date in both years, while 1-hexanol, citronellol, [beta]-damascenone and decanoic acid decreased.
