- Intervention effect Single metamitron effectively thinned fruit under favourable temperatures at either fruit diameter stage.
- Association Reduced fruit number was accompanied by greater mean fruit weight.
- Intervention effect Double lower concentration metamitron gave stable thinning in both cultivars.
- Intervention effect Metamitron with NAA significantly reduced the adverse effect of low temperature on thinning.
- Intervention effect Combined thinning treatments slightly caused overthinning in Gala at high temperatures.
- Intervention effect Repeated metamitron increased fruit size and the share of large fruit.
- Intervention effect Metamitron combined with BA and NAA increased fruit size and large fruit share.
- Association Thinning treatment related fruit number reduction to higher subsequent flowering, except the final Golden Delicious double application.
- Intervention effect Metamitron treatments slightly altered fruit maturity parameters.
