What is Brevis™

Informations générales
HOW IT WORKS
Brevis™ generates a temporary reduction in carbohydrates for the tree. The resulting competition between fruitlets causes a natural fall of lateral fruits while preserving the dominant and/or king fruit.

RATE DETERMINATION
Rate should be adjusted based on orchard-specific factors including but not limited to:
-Amount of desired fruit thinning
-Cultivar/variety
-Weather conditions
-Tree health
-Overall orchard history
Base rate should be determined based on an orchard’s history of thinning propensity. Use a higher application rate in hard-to-thin orchards. In medium-to-thin orchards, use the mid-range rates and use lower rates in easy-to-thin orchards. A carbohydrate model (BreviSmart) can help applicators make rate adjustments on the day of, based on the carbon status of the tree.
