Stop Fruit-Drop By Spraying
A USDA report finds stop-drop sprays reduce pre-harvest losses in apples and pears from about 20 percent to under 6 percent in many orchards. Plant-growth regulators retard abscission, keeping fruit on the tree 10 days to four weeks. NAA, 2 4 D, 2 4 5 T, and 2 4 5 TP are used, with NAA suitable for airplane spraying and lasting up to two weeks.
