Best
Management Practices for Orchard Spraying |
Apply dormant sprays with a minimum of 200 gallons of
water per acre with increased droplet size and reduced drift. |
Dormant
sprays are important in pest management programs. Dormant
sprays are under increased scrutiny from the EPA. Eliminate
spray drift by applying dormant sprays with a minimum of 200 gallons
of water per acre. |
Foliage and fruit provides a physical barrier to spray drift. The absence of this physical barrier inherently increases the potential
for spray drift. Not increasing droplet size further increases the potential for spray
drift. |
