- Intervention effect Carbaryl provided reasonable thinning by fruit set counts.
- Intervention effect NAD provided reasonable thinning by fruit set counts.
- Intervention effect NAA tended to slow apple fruit growth relative to carbaryl.
- Intervention effect NAD tended to slow apple fruit growth relative to carbaryl.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl tended to thin fruit clusters uniformly.
- Intervention effect NAA tended to remove all fruit from some clusters but few from others, particularly in 1988.
- Intervention effect NAD tended to remove all fruit from some clusters but few from others, particularly in 1988.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl applied in 1988 improved return bloom in 1989 over control.
- Intervention effect NAA applied in 1988 improved return bloom in 1989 over control.
- Intervention effect NAD applied in 1988 improved return bloom in 1989 over control.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl had a slightly greater return bloom effect than NAA and NAD.
- Recommendation The authors suggest dilute carbaryl at 1.7 to 2.2 kg active ingredient per ha for California grower trials.
