Biothinner

General information

Biothinner is a product for post-bloom thinning in apples and pears. The formulation is a unique combination of two active ingredients (6-BA and NAA) and efficacy boosters.

Such a specific combination of several ingredients gives Biothinner an advantage over other conventional thinning products.

It provides selective thinning, leaving mainly central fruit. Biothinner is applied after blooming when central fruit is 10–14 mm in diameter.

Greater commercial yield

The key benefit provided by Biothinner is substantial increase in fruit size and weight. The increase is caused indirectly by the thinning effect and also directly by cell division stimulation by 6-BA.

Moreover, the thinning with Biothinner improves red colouration of apples and significantly prevents alternate bearing.

Effective treatment with low risk of overthinning

Biothinner is regarded as a low-risk thinner. The product, if used correctly, gently and selectively regulates crop load with little risk of overthinning.

The product is a perfect tool in sequential thinning programmes.

Three major benefits for farmers

Better fruit size and weight

Better fruit colouration

Prevention of alternate bearing
