Postbloom Thinning of ‘Bartlett’ Pear with Metamitron [PDF]
HortScience, 2020 Metamitron is a relatively new postbloom thinning compound for pome fruits that inhibits the photosystem II (PS II) pathway of photosynthesis. Reduced assimilation of carbohydrate by metamitron action may lead to a carbohydrate deficit that promotes ...

USE OF METAMITRON AS AN APPLE THINNER [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2017 The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of metamitron or metamitron plus benzyladenine as a post-bloom thinner on ‘Baronesa’ and ‘Fuji’ apples. Three experiments (rate, timing and BA combination) were conducted during two crop seasons, 2013/14

Metamitron, a Photosynthetic Electron Transport Chain Inhibitor, Modulates the Photoprotective Mechanism of Apple Trees [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Chemical thinning of apple fruitlets is an important practice as it reduces the natural fruit load and, therefore, increases the size of the final fruit for commercial markets.

Impact of integrated weed control methods on yield performance and sustainable weed suppression in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceWeed infestation remains a major constraint limiting the yield potential of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) worldwide. Weeds compete with the crop for light, water, and nutrients, and if not effectively managed, they can cause severe yield and quality ...
