Influence of Blossom Thinners in Commercial Peach Cultivars on Fruit Set and Effects of Training and Crop Load Adjustment on Fruit Quality in ‘Snow Giant’ Peach
Author: Dr. Essie Fallahi

Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1) To experiment with Tergitol TMN-6 blossom thinner in peaches. This experiment will be in conjunction with Dr. Jim Mc Ferson and peach and perhaps other stone fruit growers in Washington. 2) To study the effects of different numbers of "hangers" (crop load) on fruit yield, color, and quality in 'Snow Giant' peach.
