AG4+7 + BA applied at flowering increased fruit size and reduced russeting. Experiments were carried out from 2002 to 2004 with the apples varieties Imperial Gala and Fuji, with the purpose of evaluating the effects of time and concentration of promalin application on apples growing in mild winter conditions of Southern Brazil. The data showed a strong effect of time of application on fruit set reduction. This effect tended to be less intensive in ?Fuji? than in ?Imperial Gala?. The mean fruit weight of ?Imperial Gala? and ?Fuji? was always significantly higher in the treated plots. The results of russeting were quite variable. However, the percentage of fruit with russeting, other than in the peduncle cavity, may be considered low in there trials.  aApple production  aFruit elongation  aFruit set  aFruit size  aGrowth regulators  aMa????  aRegulador de crescimento  aThinning  tIn: INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM PLANT BIOREGULATORS IN FRUIT PRODUCTION, 10., 2005, Saltillo.
