Hi! > Thanks for the follow-up information, Brian. Using six strep sprays during > bloom, while I can see how it may be necessary,
Actually, I don’t understand how 6 sprays on the same flowers can be necessary. Once open flowers are sprayed with strep, the likelihood of building a sufficient bacterial population in those flowers is very limited. Of course, a few sprays may be needed to cover flowers as they open. As Dave said = possibly to or 3… But 6 ? Vincent Philion, agr., M.Sc.
