| Peaches & Nectarines (excluding California) |

The Go-To Thinning Tool for Peaches & Nectarines Accede® SG Plant Growth Regulator Soluble Granule is the first of its kind chemical thinner registered for use on peaches/nectarines and other stone fruit. Trials have demonstrated that an application of Accede SG to peaches/nectarines during the period from bloom to petal fall will reduce fruit set and reduce, but not eliminate, the need for hand thinning. A second application of Accede SG can further reduce fruit set to provide additional reductions in hand thinning labor.
