The challenge of fruitlet thinning.

Managing crop load is one of the toughest parts of apple and pear production. Hand-thinning is labour intensive and a challenge to manage. Growers need a solution that is proven safe and reliable, has a wide and flexible window of application and produces consistent results.

That's why growers are turning to a smarter thinning approach.

Why growers are choosing BREVIS™:

  • Flexible application window from petal fall to 16-18 mm, offering a wide window for product application
  • Helps optimize yield and marketability
  • Improved safety for workers and beneficials
  • Time spent hand thinning is reduced by 80% compared to hand thinning in untreated orchards and 44% less time spent when insecticide thinner is applied. (BREVIS™ 150 SC Process Trial, 2023 – Creston, BC)
  • Aligns with modern apple and pear orchard management practices
  • No negative effect on russeting or firmness of the fruit
  • Safe for export markets and approved by leading global regulatory agencies

The answer you've been waiting for.

How BREVIS™ works

BREVIS™ uses an active ingredient that briefly slows down photosynthesis in the plant, causing a temporary reduction in carbohydrate production. This pause promotes a natural fall of lateral fruits, preserving the dominant or king fruit. The plant can now focus its energy on size, quality, and uniformity – helping your best apples and pears reach their full potential.
