Why is thinning of fruit crops required?

Chemical thinning of the ovary is the method that allows obtaining high-quality fruits and at the same time provides intensive flowering for the next year. This method also provides good and uniform yields over the years, with the total yields of a well-thinned out garden over several years being higher than those of an unbroken garden.
The process of apple fruit formation lasts 16-18 months and covers two consecutive seasons, starting from the differentiation of the flower buds during their fruiting in the first season till flowering and subsequent fruit ripening in the next year.
Chemical thinning of the ovary helps the tree"s natural tendency regulate the fruit load itself by shedding weaker fruits, thereby promoting the growth of the stronger ones. This enables obtaining the yield of mainly commercial quality. Thinning out the ovaries contributes to better coloring of the fruit, reduces the likelihood of breakage of parts of the tree by the fruitage, helps notice the appearance of pests and diseases, and also prevents the weakening of the tree.
