Effects of Chemical Thinning With Armothin (R) on Fruit Set, Yield and Quality of Japanese Plum (Prunus Salicina Lindl.) Cv. 'Fortune'

Original language description

The effects of the application of the chemical thinner Armothin (R) on fruit set, yield and quality of Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) cv. &apos;Fortune&apos; were studied during two seasons in Central Chile (34.56 degrees S, 71.5 degrees W). Trees were sprayed with Armothin (R) at 0.5%, 1% and 2% concentrations. All thinning treatments reduced the fruit set and fruitlet number (fruitlets/50 cm of branch). Armothin (R) at 2% conc. was the most aggressive treatment, drastically reducing the fruit set from 85.9% and 82.9% of the control and crop load to unprofitable levels during both seasons. Chemical thinning treatments at the two lowest concentrations (0.5 and 1%) did not significantly alter the crop load compared with the unsprayed control during both study seasons. Thinning costs were reduced (Armothin (R) 0.5%, 25.0% and 21.5% of the control treatment and Armothin (R) 1%, 24.6% and 24.1% of the control, during the first and second season, respectively). In general, chemical thinning increased the fruit size and total soluble solids content (TSS). Taking into account the effects on thinning, crop load, fruit quality and thinning costs, Armothin (R) 1% and Armothin (R) 0.5% are the most advantageous treatments in the case of this study.
