Thinning With flexible rates and dilution, Fruitone L can be used to thin fruit on many apple and pear varietals, ranging from easy-to-thin varieties such as Granny Smith and Braeburn to difficult-to-thin varieties like Fuji and Golden Delicious. Improving Return Bloom Certain apple varieties, such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, Jonagold and Golden Delicious, are prone to alternate bearing. Two to three mid-summer applications of Fruitone L, spaced 7–14 days apart, helps ensure a stable return bloom the following year and provide consistent crop loads each year. Timing of the first application is recommended 6–8 weeks after petal fall. Pre-Harvest Drop Control Fruitone L effectively reduces pre-harvest fruit drop when applied 1–4 weeks prior to harvest and ensures next-season return bloom on alternate-bearing varieties when re-applied mid-summer. Other Important Information Thinning becomes increasingly difficult as fruit size increases. Adjust the rate of Fruitone L to obtain desired results. Application to fruit >15 mm may result in misshapen or pygmy fruit in sensitive varieties. Do not exceed 54 oz/A per application or a total of 161 oz/A per season
