- Intervention effect Airblast chemicals reduced fruit set in Redhaven peach.
- Intervention effect Airblast chemicals increased fruit size in Redhaven peach.
- Intervention effect Adding Spray Aide to ATS from 0 to 5 ml/liter did not increase thinning.
- Intervention effect At constant ATS per hectare, changing water volume did not alter thinning.
- Intervention effect Chemically thinned trees developed 46–62% more flower buds on twigs than hand-thinned trees.
- Observation Most of the increased flower buds occurred on five basipetal nodes of current shoots.
- Observation Some treated flowers showed peduncle necrosis after 48 hours.
- Observation Blue tracer reached veins of calyx, pedicle, and peduncle in some treated flowers after 24 hours.
