| Apples—Thinning |
MaxCel® Plant Growth Regulator—Bigger Fruit for Bigger Profits MaxCel® Plant Growth Regulator Solution is a proven fruit thinning agent which increases fruit size and helps improve return bloom. It helps fruit reach its full potential—even difficult-to-size varieties such as Gala, Fuji and Empire apples. Due to its growth promoting action, MaxCel stimulates cell division and increases fruit size beyond the direct thinning effect, providing greater packout and fewer undersized fruit than traditional thinners. The state-of-the-art formulation of MaxCel includes a built-in surfactant, which provides excellent product uptake. Increases fruit size leading to better packout Reduces hand thinning costs
