Dear Jon,
Can you help me get off the Apple-crop listserv? I've tried the way as
instructed several times without success. Please help me. Thanks, Melanie

Say it ain't so Dave!
Do you really want to leave it at:
"Thus, for the majority of apple growers, and especially when using newer
products, the safest bet will be to apply the recommended amount of product/A
regardless of tree size."
You really advise apple growers to put on same amount of p
The time required to do a reliable water-sensitive paper
determination of Dilute Water Volume per acre is, I think, its
greatest practical limitation.
Misreading the "near 100% coverage" point, when the paper surface
has been near 100% wetted, is not likely to produce a large error if one
Forget water sensitive paper.
I have a few acres of organic apples. After you use Surround a few times,
you realize how valuable it is to use it to see if you are really getting
spray coverage. Missing tops of trees, not getting penetration late in the
season, how much drift you are getting. E
Jim. Fair enough to say forget TRV, but I'm wondering if you actually
do adjust rate per acre in a different way. When you have sprayer set
up for 50 or 100 gallons per acre then move from block of larger trees
to smaller trees do you keep the same set of nozzles firing, or do you

A manufacturer of water sensitive paper once told me that the paper is a
relative and not an absolute measure of coverage. This is because the visible
change in color on the paper is larger than the actual droplet coverage (I
assume through wicking action but I don't have any details). If true

That sounds good Dave -- from my forestry background, the bundle of
needles in a pine tree is often used to help identify (among other
things) the species as this bundle or fascicle has different numbers
of needle depending on the species. For example, white pine (Pinus
strobus) has 5 needles per f
I immediately think of Quentin Bliss Zielinski when I see questions
concerning the classification of
fruit crops. I still have his book, "Modern Systematic Pomology"
published in 1955, that I used in his
Oregon State University 'Systematic Pomology' course. In it, he
lists the sweet and
I agree with Davids comments and appreciate his straightforward approach. I
think all of us who work at public universities make individual choices of how
we respond to these situations. The newer you are into the system the more risk
you may feel by introducing revolutionary concepts. Part of t
The discussion about TRV has been most interesting, but I have another
question about bud terminology.
Within the Rose family, we have crops that have differing types of
flower-containing buds:
- a single flower, no shoots -- Apricot, peach, and nectarine (plus
some individual buds on plum)
