Subject: Apple-Crop: Dodine and captane fungicides applied during bloom
Hi greetings to all
I don't know if every one is aware that dodine and captane fungicides
applied during bloom period have some affects on pollen germination,
and reduction in fruit set is observed. I ask someone who have
verified this or a have knwlodge of a paper discusssings this subject.
