Removing redundant fruitlets has to be done every year, either by hand or using chemical thinning compounds. The object of this research was to optimize the intensity of chemical fruit thinning according to yield and income in Golden Delicious apple orchard, in the second and third fruiting season. Three rates of 6- benzyladenine (BA) were applied to thin fruits: 100, 150 and 200 mg/l. Calculated income decreased after BA application by 12,5-21,5% compared to the untreated group. The most efficient treatment was 200 mg/l BA, regarding average fruit weight, diameter and yield which nearly reached the planned yields. Additional correction of fruit number per tree by hand thinning was the least necessary after treatment with 200 mg/l BA. 000244908 650__ $$aEnvironmental Economics and Policy 000244908 650__ $$aInternational Relations/Trade 000244908 650__ $$aProduction Economics 000244908 6531_ $$aapple 000244908 6531_ $$a6-benzyladenine 000244908 6531_ $$athinning 000244908 6531_ $$ayield 000244908 6531_ $$aincome 000244908 700__ $$aMilic, Biserka 000244908 700__ $$aKeserovic, Zoran 000244908 700__ $$aMagazin, Nenad 000244908 773__ $$q133$$o145$$tEconomics of Agriculture$$j58$$k01$$dJanuary-March 2011 000244908 8564_ $$9408a5439-0ffb-4f78-8473-314c0aeeff69$$s283930$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/244908/files/Article%2010.pdf 000244908 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/244908 000244908 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:244908$$pGLOBAL_SET 000244908 912__ $$nSubmitted by Greta Thormodson (thorm018@umn.edu) on 2016-09-15T20:04:26Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Article 10.pdf: 283930 bytes, checksum: a22978739c921f842f482f2f38a4faf1 (MD5) 000244908 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2016-09-15T20:04:26Z (GMT).
