- 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 The specified lower concentration bloom sprays increased harvested fruit weight by up to 20%.
- Intervention effect Late bloom sprays at 0.75% to 1% reduced yield by up to 90%.
- Intervention effect Sprays caused no leaf or young shoot damage.
