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.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the photosynthesis inhibiting fruit thinning agent is metamitron, and step (ii) comprises a) determining whether the first dose of photosynthesis inhibiting fruit thinning agent had a strong effect, a medium effect, a low effect, or no effect on the plant, and b) obtaining impending weather conditions, wherein:\n a. the first dose had a strong effect and the impending weather conditions are favorable or moderately favorable for fruit thinning, and the second dose is a low dose, b. the first dose had a strong effect and the impending weather conditions are not favorable or moderately favorable for fruit thinning, and no second dose is applied, c. the first dose had a medium effect and the impending weather conditions are favorable for fruit thinning, and the second dose is a high dose or a medium dose, d. the first dose had a medium effect and the impending weather conditions are moderately favorable for fruit thinning, and the second dose is a medium dose, e. the first dose had a medium effect and the impending weather conditions are not favorable for fruit thinning, and the second dose is a low dose, f. the first dose had a low effect and the impending weather conditions are favorable for fruit thinning, and the second dose is a high dose or a medium dose, g. the first dose had a low effect and the impending weather conditions are moderately favorable for fruit thinning, and the second dose is a medium dose, h. the first dose had a low effect and the impending weather conditions are not favorable for fruit thinning, and the second dose is a low dose, i. the first dose had no effect and the impending weather conditions are favorable or moderately favorable for fruit thinning, and the second dose is a high dose or a medium dose, or j. the first dose had no effect and the impending weather conditions are not favorable for fruit thinning, and the second dose is a low dose.
