- Intervention effect Ethephon above 500 mg·L -1 effectively thinned apple fruit.
- Intervention effect Accel at 100 to 125 mg·L -1 effectively thinned apple fruit.
- Intervention effect Repeated applications did not reduce fruit set beyond single applications.
- Association Fruit weight was negatively related to fruit count per tree.
- Intervention effect After fruit-count adjustment, ethephon did not improve fruit weight at harvest.
- Intervention effect After fruit-count adjustment, Accel improved fruit weight in two of three experiments.
- Intervention effect The effect of combined Accel and ethephon on fruit weight varied across experiments.
