Revolutionising Apple and Pear Thinning

BREVIS is a new and innovative secondary fruit thinner especially formulated for apples and pears. Its unique mode of action radically changes the way apples and pears are thinned, giving growers the means to thin more reliably and consistently, year after year. With much less temperature dependency and a wide window of application, BREVIS solves the problems growers face with traditional chemical thinners.

Global and New Zealand Research

ADAMA has undertaken extensive research globally and in New Zealand with over 800 trials with BREVIS to date. BREVIS is registered in over 27 countries and more registrations are being added each year.
