ABSTRACT:
A process for thinning stone fruit blossoms is disclosed. In the process, a compound selected from certain alkoxylated amines and alkoxylated quaternary ammonium compounds is applied to stone fruit trees at some point after 50% blossom to thereby reduce the number of blossoms on the stone fruit tree. In this manner, the amount of fruit thinning which must be done by hand can be substantially reduced without decreasing the quantity of marketable fruit produced by an orchard or harming the trees or the workers in the orchard.
