Les, Your last comment about clean up. Does the application of 1 gallon per acre mark, coat, or create a problem with customer acceptance of apples??
And I gather GF 120 works but in your opinion not good enough to withstand the constraints of a Quarantine.

It is illegal to transport any apple, anywhere, whether down your driveway, inside your county or over the mountain if it has AM. Now that a reliable attractant has finally been found (GF 120) to make the Spinosad effective I would have to give it a thumbs up that is if you are planning to be organic, certified or otherwise. In my opinion it has really made all the other attract and kill research obsolete. If organic is not a concern, I doubt you would be as happy with this product as with say a regular program of Imidan as far as effectiveness, ease of application and cleanup of the apples if you don't have a cleaning line.
