[Apple-Crop] NAD

John,
Two years ago I did an experiment where I did apply Amid-Thin at
petal fall alone or followed by BA to Gala. Amid-Thin was used at a
rate of 8 oz/100 gal. The Amid-Thin alone spray thinned modestly (not
enough) but followed by BA the thinning was acceptable. The best
thinning result was obtained when carbaryl was applied at petal fall
followed by a 10 mm spray of carbaryl plus BA.
Regards,
Duane
