How To Use Rate
See below for recommended rates of PoMaxa by variety. Tree response to PoMaxa application varies greatly by cultivar, weather before and after application, tree vigor, pollination, fruit set and fruitlet size at time of application. Previous orchard history and past thinner performance can help a grower determine the best spray program for that orchard. Petal fall (3–7 mm fruit size) and/or early fruit set (8–10 mm fruit size). Best results occur when temperatures are between 70–75°F. One application of PoMaxa is usually adequate for thinning. A second application can be made for additional thinning, but do not apply earlier than 7 days after the first application. with another apple thinning product, reduce the application rate as appropriate. Consult your local Valent Agricultural Specialist for specific recommendations regarding tank mixes or combination thinning programs. Exercise caution when considering applications of PoMaxa to trees younger than five years of age, as damage to the trees can occur. Misshapen fruit formation (e.g. “pygmy” fruit) or phytotoxicity can occur on some cultivars, such as Fuji and Red Delicious, when applied at higher rates, when temperatures exceed 85°F or when applications are made when fruit size exceeds 15 mm.
