Abstract
Abstract Treatments were applied to 12-yr-old mature trees in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Treatments were applied as dilute sprays to the point of drip with an FMC DP-20 handgun sprayer at 375 psi, using approximately 5 gal finished spray/tree. Applications of treatments were made on 13 Apr (IC), 21 Apr (2C), 29 Apr (3C), 6 May (4C), 20 May (5C), 8 Jun (6C), 23 Jun (7C), 15 Jul (8C), and 29 Jul (9C). Cover sprays of dormant oil, mancozeb, Funginex, Plictran, and Omite were applied separately to all trees. Fruit were harvested on 18 Aug. Samples consisted of 50 fruit/replicate, 150 fruit/treatment. The fruit was collected randomly from around the tree at chest height. Samples were inspected visually, and the numbers of clean and damaged fruit were recorded.
