Amid-Thin® W Plant Growth Regulator Chemical thinning optimizes fruit size and quality and is one of the most important seasonal applications in pome fruit, like apples and pears. Amid-Thin® W Plant Growth Regulator is easy on foliage and offers a wide margin of crop safety when applied at recommended concentrations. Optimizes fruit size and quality in apples and pears Easy on foliage How To Use—Apple Thinning Apply Amid-Thin W at a rate of 25 to 50 ppm at full bloom or up to petal fall. Limit the use of higher concentrations of Amid-Thin W to difficult-to-thin and/or vigorous trees with ample pollination and good initial fruit set. Use the lower concentration on easy-to-thin varieties and/or weaker, less vigorous trees with less energy reserves.

NAA = Napthaleneacetic acid 1 Full bloom: When 90% of the blossoms are fully open with petals beginning to fall from the king flower. 2 Petal fall: When approximately 90% of petals have fallen off. 3 Spraying can be delayed up to 3 weeks (21 days) after full bloom if unusually cool weather has slowed growth during
a cold year when daytime temperatures are consistently below 50°F. 4 At 300 gallons/A the maximum rate that can be applied is 44 ppm NAA.
