Postbloom Thinning of ‘Bartlett’ Pear with Metamitron [PDF]
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]
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]
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]
Weed 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 ...

Analysis of fruit thinning effect and underlying mechanism using metamitron on ‘Gala’ apples [PDF]
To address the problems of artificial apple thinning, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, this study examined the fruit thinning effect and mechanism of spraying metamitron at the young fruit stage on Gala apples grown on dwarfing

METAMITRON REPLACING CARBARYL IN POST BLOOM THINNING OF APPLE TREES [PDF]
Carbaryl or the mixture of carbaryl with NAA (naphthalene acetic acid) or BA (benzyladenine) are the post-bloom chemical thinners most widely used in apple thinning in Brazil.

Application time of chemical thinning with metamitron in ‘Sensação’ peach trees [PDF]
Thinning is a cultural practice that leads to balance between fruit yield and quality. It is carried out in a short period of time and requires qualified workforce, whose shortage ends up increasing costs.

Metamitron in the chemical thinning of ‘PS 10711’ peach trees
O raleio químico de frutos pode ser uma prática alternativa ao raleio manual. O raleio manual necessita ser executado num curto período da frutificação, mas a falta de mão de obra e a onerosidade dos custos da operação cada vez mais dificultam o seu ...

Adsorption of pesticides Carbetamide and Metamitron on organohydrotalcite
This paper reports on the adsorption of low polarity pesticides Carbetamide and Metamitron on hydrotalcite [Mg3Al(OH)8]2CO3·nH2O and organohydrotalcites [Mg3Al(OH)8]2DDS·nH2O with different degree of dodecyl sulphate (DDS) saturation. The adsorbents and the adsorption products were characterized by X-ray diffraction method and FT-IR spectroscopy.
