True or false? 1.) When dormant, or late dormant, it's OK to put oil on when the night time temperatures drop below 32 F.? (Note the Damoil label simply says do not apply when the temperature is below 32 F.)
2.) As buds break, and green tissues shows, tissue damage is more likely if oil is applied during the day and night time temperature drops below freezing? 3.) Pears and apples different when it comes to oil application(s)? 4.) 2 to 3% oil is magical because that is in all the recommendations and it's been that way forever? (But the damoil label says "For concentrate spray, use no more than 4 gallons of this product per acre in minimum 20 gallons of spray." Huh, isn't that like 20%?) :-) -- JMCEXTMAN (aka Jon Clements) 413.478.7219 Verizon 413.378.3068 Project Fi UMass Cold Spring Orchard 393 Sabin Street Belchertown, MA 01007 http://umassfruit.com
