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. ![Close-up of pink and white apple blossoms on a tree branch, with several buds surrounded by green leaves in an orchard.](https://simplicity.adama.com/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/McKimSherpa/Theme/Images/brevis/king-flower-to-king-fruit.png?width=632&height=510&name=king-flower-to-king-fruit.png) ## 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.   You're not guessing. ## BreviSmart™ walks you through it. BreviSmart™ is a digital, web-based tool that brings real science to the art of crop load management. By analyzing key orchard data – like night-time temperatures, sunlight, precipitation, fruitlet size, and variety – it pinpoints the ideal application window. The tool delivers a simple, daily report that helps growers adjust confidently as conditions change. BreviSmart™ helps growers and advisors: - Determine the best timing for application - Adjust rates with confidence based on carbohydrate modeling - Optimize labour and reduce uncertainty ![](https://simplicity.adama.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/McKimSherpa/Theme/Images/brevis/report-sample.png) ![Perfect cluster expanded](https://simplicity.adama.com/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/McKimSherpa/Theme/Images/brevis/Perfect-cluster-expanded.png?width=420&height=347&name=Perfect-cluster-expanded.png) Trusted in global orchards. ## Proven in Canadian conditions.
