Apogee should not be used on Empire.

        I would like to hear more about Apogee-induced cracking of Empire.
Does anyone know the particular set of circumstances that result in cracking?

I have safely used one or two applications at 4 ounces per 100 gallons on Empire a couple of years, but, having heard of possible cracking, I have not used the 3rd or 4th sprays that would be needed for good vegetative control of
my trees on MM106.

Just for interest, it seems this mystery disease is solved, but we had some Empire apples treated with Agogee last year that looked very similar. Learn
from our mistakes!
