Abstract
Ethrel (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) and Nia 10637 (Niagara Chemical Division) were applied as post-bloom thinning sprays to 'Early Amber* peach trees. Ethrel was consistently more effective in fruit thinning than Nia 10637. Higher concentrations of both chemicals in creased thinning. Fruit size increased especially with early applications of Ethrel. Pit-splitting increased with higher concentrations of Ethrel when there was over-thinning.
