I'll offer my perspective ... We got 2.5 inches Sunday night, and it's still
here this morning, so I'm headed back out to spray my trial trees (including
the Assail treatment that's a standard) in a few minutes. I'm acting on the
premise that there's not enough residue left to provide codling moth control,
and we have moderate pressure ... and we have potato leafhoppers.

Subject: [apple-crop] Assail rainfast?
A four day old application of Assail at 8oz - 1.5 of rain last night followed by
.5 tonight (along with 1 minute of hail) - would this application retain its
effectiveness or should I think of it in the same fashion that I would consider an application
of Imidan under the same situation? - in other words, I'd consider Imidan to be effectively
gone after 2 of rain but Assail has systemic action that is possibly not as affected by
rain? I'm mainly worried about codling moth, but it's time for leafhoppers to show up too. I'd
like to wait a week before the next application - David Doud grower Indiana -
