Fine Americas Introduces Next Generation of Bloom-Thinning PGRs

Fine Americas is introducing Exilis 9.5 SC as a post-bloom thinning agent for apples and pears based on the active ingredient benzyladenine. This advanced formulation is five times more concentrated than current formulations in the market to improve handling and mixing as well as to reduce environmental impact. This provides benefits to the grower while still providing fruit thinning and increased fruit size.
“With five times more concentrated product, Exilis 9.5 SC truly is the next generation product for post-bloom thinning in apples and pears,” said Greg Johnson, president, Fine Americas. “Growers who have used Exilis Plus in 1-gallon jugs will find improved ease of pouring and less handling with the new Exilis 9.5 SC in 1-quart jugs, and the higher concentration requires less storage space.”
Fine Americas worked with leading industry researchers over a number of years to develop this advanced formulation of Exilis 9.5 SC in the U.S.
“Our research has shown that growers will get the same top-notch performance in terms of thinning with Exilis 9.5 SC that they saw with Exilis Plus,” said Jim Scruggs, technical services manager, Fine Americas.
Additionally, to help with grower adaptation, company representatives currently offer measuring cups that will assist in accurate mixing of Exilis 9.5 SC.
“Not only is Exilis 9.5 SC easy to pour and measure, the concentrated product makes for fewer shipping and handling issues,” Johnson added. “And that, along with taking up less storage space, is an immediate benefit to growers as they focus on improved fruit quality, size and yield.”
