Abstract: Methods of fruit thinning fruit bearing plants using photosynthesis inhibiting fruit thinning agents are disclosed. Methods of determining the amount and/or timing of a first dose of photosynthesis inhibiting fruit thinning agents to be applied to a fruit bearing plant to thin fruit on the plant are disclosed. Methods of determining whether a second application of photosynthesis inhibiting fruit thinning agent is required to be applied to thin fruit on the plant, and if so the amount and/or timing thereof, are also disclosed. Methods of determining whether a dose of a photosynthesis inhibiting fruit thinning agent is required to be applied to a fruit bearing plant to thin fruit on the plant.

Abstract: A new and distinct apple variety of Malus domestica named ‘HOT84A1’ and characterized by its attractive appearance, its dark red color, and is notable for its long storage life. The variety results from crossing the apple varieties ‘Scired’ (not patented) and ‘Scilate’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,477) in Havelock North, New Zealand.
