Abstract
Apple chemical thinning as a critical technology for better fruit quality and high average yield became ecologically questionable. Carbaryl as a very good thinning agent is ecologically disputed and not allowed in integrated production. Less toxic plant hormone compounds (NAA, NAAm) have some technological faults. We will investigate the efficiency of new hormone and other alternative thinning compounds (synthetical cytokinins, ethephon, ATS and other dessicants, combinations with urea,...). With flower and fruitlet thinning of highbush blueberry we intended to accelerate the maturity of clusters and enlarge the size of berries.
