A trial was conducted with mature apple cv. Elstar trees on the effects of Amid-Thin [naphthaleneacetamide] + carbaryl, with or without hand thinning. The percentage of larger-sized fruits was greatly increased and total returns (including postharvest ones) were enhanced with the inclusion of hand thinning. Data are also presented from a 3-year trial with Elstar and Jonagold on (1) changes in fruit size from 8 days after full bloom until harvest; and (2) the yields/ha and the numbers of larger sized fruits/tree with different planting distances.
