Hello Fellow Growers,
We are doing the same thing as Jim Bittner.everything applied on a per acre basis using 50 gallons per acres except for 100 gallons for the thinners and oil. We have all high density plantings and have had very satisfactory results. Best Regards, Kurt W.

My experience is to forget TRV. It has gotten me in alot of trouble on smaller trees.. We apply at products on a per acre basis and it works fine. The other thing we do is either apply 50 or 100 gal of water per acre. 50 for most things. 100 gal for thinners, leaf roller, mites and oil. _____ From: apple-crop@virtualorchard.net [mailto:apple-c...@virtualorchard.net] On Behalf Of kborcha...@aol.com Sent: Friday, January 15, 2010 1:27 PM To: apple-crop@virtualorchard.net Subject: Re: Apple-Crop: For Discussion: Pesticide Applications Rates and Tree Row Vol... I would think that because apple maggot over winter on the ground that reduction of amount applied per acre in theory would result in a less than proper amount of active material applied to control the pest. The small to large house would not be as important as the fact that each was on a one acre lot. Just my opinion and experience. No virus found in this incoming message.
