- Observation Silwet-408 was among the most effective thinning agents.
- Observation Boost was among the most effective thinning agents.
- Intervention effect The specified lower concentration bloom sprays halved hand thinning mass.
- Intervention effect Late bloom sprays at 0.75% to 1% reduced yield by up to 90%.
- Intervention effect Sprays did not affect already set fruitlets.
- Intervention effect Sprays caused no leaf or young shoot damage.
- Association Open flowers were more susceptible than tight bloom or balloon stage flowers.
- Association Petal ion leakage rose with surfactant concentration.
- Association Flower base ion leakage rose with surfactant concentration.
- Intervention effect Surfactant application did not increase lipid peroxidation.
