Re: [apple-crop] Alternate Row Middle Sprays

2014-06-09 Thread George Greene
Hi All:

Don't forget that when Alternate Row Middle (ARM) spraying was almost universal 
in PA the half sprays were applied every 7 days rather than applying a full or 
complete spray every 14 days.  Later in the season the intervals were extended 
considerably.  One major advantage of ARM sprays is that it takes one-half as 
long to get some coverage as it would take to make a complete spray.  That can 
be advantages when there may be an approaching weather event such as a front 
with lots of rain and wind.

So with chemicals that have a pretty short half life it was felt that a 
complete coverage on one side of the tree and partial coverage on the back side 
knowing that you would do the reverse in 7 days.

I have heard that today there are some concerns about resistance management 
with ARM Sprays.  I am not a pest control person so I am just giving a history 
lesson on ARM sprays.  Of course many pests and pesticides have changed now so 
ARM sprays may not be advantages for current orchardists.

Be well, George Greene

Re: [apple-crop] Deer, Fireblight, Liquid Fence

2014-06-09 Thread Hugh Thomas
I've tried many products and most of the ones mentioned in this thread.
Liquid Fence = Ranch Dressing. Dried Blood is deer code for Merlot. Here in
Montana, if a deer is hungry, he will eat anything. I finally put in an
eight foot high tensile fence.

Lee, we use a product called Repells All by Bonide that lasts up to 2 months 
and is made up of  Dried Blood ,  Putrescent whole egg solids, Garlic oil, 
Acetic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Cloves, Fish oil, Onions, Meat meal, Seaweed, 
Vanillin, Vitamin E,  and Wintergreen oil.  It comes in a 6 lb. bag as granules 
and is also available in liquid.  The granules are a bit less expensive and are 
rainfast within 6 hours.  A six pound bag costs about $30 and covers about 
5,000 square feet.   We use it in our sugar cube melons to keep the raccoons 
off them and around our young trees to keep the deer off them.  One bag covers 
about 3 to 4 400' rows of trees.  I don't know if this would be less expensive 
for you, but the product really does work for us.

Re: [apple-crop] Deer, Fireblight, Liquid Fence

2014-06-09 Thread Fleming, William
The only deer deterrent I've seen that works long term is a good fence.
I don't doubt you that deer can spread blight. I never believed it until it 
happened to me but fire blight can also be spread from the smoke (or more 
likely ash) from a burn pile.
When a neighbor removed a block of severely blight Bosc pears the plume of 
smoke that expanded from the burn pile exactly matched the subsequent infection 
that occurred on full bloom Gala trees.

We use 1/2 rate from both sides for the coverage as opposed to full rate both 
sides.  Also you can mix for one block and then either add the water or more

 Thanks for the responses.  So when you guys use the
 spray controllers do you try to maintain the same GPA across
 all blocks?  Seems like if you don't have one (like me)
 and you mix a tank to apply across multiple training styles
 with varying row spacing the pesticide rate per acre would
 be out of whack between them.
 
 
 
 Here's my scenario.  1.5 acres is conventional free
 standing and 1.5 is tall spindle.  When I did TRV
 calculations last season and checked the GPM of sprayer
 nozzles obviously with the difference in row spacing the
 rate was way higher for the tall spindle block.  When I
 adjusted the gear speed so the GPA would match the free
 standing block, tractor speed was way too fast ~4 MPH.
 
 
 
 I suppose I could get another set of smaller nozzles for the
 tall spindle block to try to keep things even between
 blocks.
 
 
 
 Any further advise?

Hi!

> mentioned.  Are you guys going every row?

We advise every row spraying because of the spotty coverage with alternate 
rows. Growers with very clean orchards get by with alternate row spraying at 
the beginning of season, but it’s risky.

However, we do advise to “split risk” for scab spraying:
i/e alternate rows ahead of dubious rain forecast and within rain spray 
(germination window sprays) if rain comes and might lead to infection.

Vincent,

I would like to do alternate row spraying in the high density block  
and at 4 mph, I noticed poor coverage similar to what Peter  
mentioned.  Are you guys going every row?  Also, my rows are very,  
very tight up against the deer fence and that speed it was hard to  
get turned around without downshifting.
