Abstract:
Thinning with both Accel and SevinXLR Plus was more effective -than using either product individually.
Application of the mixture Accel + SevinXLR Plus on 'Mclntosh' trees thinned to a level comparable to
hand-thinning as reflected in the total yield per tree.
Mean fruit weight increased significantly when the
mixture of Accel and SevinXLR Plus was applied as a thinning agent.
The largest fruit were obtained after
the application of the mixture, and the weight of treated apples was higher than that of hand-thinned
fruit.
Accel + SevinXLR Plus increased apple flesh firmness and soluble solids concentration at harvest
time and after storage, respectively.
