Abstract: Succinic acid-2,2-dimethylhydrazide (SADH) applied one 01 two consecutive seasons for preharvest drop control did not significantly reduce response of ‘McIntosh’ apples to chemical thinning treatments the following year, and increased dosage of thinning chemicals was not warranted. Pronounced reductions in size of mature fruit the following season induced as a carryover effect of SADH, emphasized the need for chemical thinning. Combinations of carbaryl (Sevin) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) generally enhanced size of SADH inhibited fruit, whereas high levels of NAA failed.
