How To Use—Pear Thinning Apply Amid-Thin W at a rate of 10 to 50 ppm at petal fall (90% petal drop). Use up to 300 gallons of spray solution per acre. Applying Amid-Thin W in this manner reduces the hand labor required to supplement thinning of pears to the desired level. Amid-Thin W Application Rates for Thinning Bartlett and Bosc Pears at Petal Fall 1 in a Normal Year Rate (NAA ppm) Amount of Amid-Thin W 100 gallons/A 150 gallons/A 300 gallons/A 2 10 0.1 lb (1.6 oz) 0.15 lb (2.4 oz) 0.3 lb (4.8 oz) 15 0.15 lb (2.4 oz) 0.23 lb (3.7 oz) 0.45 lb (7.2 oz) 25 0.25 lb (4 oz) 0.38 lb (6.1 oz) 0.75 lb (12 oz) 40 0.4 lb (6.4 oz) 0.6 lb (9.6 oz) 1.2 lb (19.2 oz) 50 0.5 lb (8 oz) 0.75 lb (12 oz) 1.31 lb (20.9 oz) NAA = Napthaleneacetic acid 1 Petal fall generally occurs 14–21 days after full bloom in normal years. 2 At 300 gallons/A the maximum rate that can be applied is 44 ppm NAA. Other Important Information Sensitivity to Amid-Thin W varies considerably among cultivars and pears are generally more sensitive than apples—see the label for more information Do not apply more than 1.31 lb (20.9 oz) Amid Thin W per application per acre. The maximum application rate is 20.9 oz. Amid Thin W (0.11 lb active equivalent) per acre per application. DO NOT EXCEED 62.7 oz. (0.33 lb active equivalent) per acre per year. The maximum annual quantity and per application rate is based on NAA (as acid) equivalent of the active ingredient. Note: Amid-Thin W contains 8.44% NAA or 8.40% 1-napthaleneacetamide (NAD). The preharvest interval (PHI) is 2 days The restricted entry interval (REI) is 48 hours The minimum retreatment interval (RTI) is 7 days If the maximum rate of 20.9 oz Amid Thin W (0.11 lb active equivalent) is used for application, then the maximum number of applications per year is three The maximum number of applications per year is three, but only two applications per crop cycle are recommended to decrease the risk for pygmy fruit
