Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect ATS reduced fruit set by 9% relative to untreated controls.
- Intervention effect LS reduced fruit set by 29% relative to untreated controls.
- Intervention effect ATS reduced crop load by 13% relative to untreated controls.
- Intervention effect LS reduced crop load by 21% relative to untreated controls.
- Intervention effect Combined blossom and fruitlet thinning had superior performance.
- Intervention effect Both blossom thinners enhanced Honeycrisp return bloom in a high crop load year.
- Recommendation Sequential blossom thinning may benefit biennial prone cultivars under heavy fruiting.
- Recommendation Benefits of early crop load reduction should be balanced against costs and risks.
