Peach, Season-Long Insect Control, 1990

Insecticides were applied to mature trees on the Trevor Nichols Res. Complex (Peach 2) at a rate of 125 gal/acre with an FMC 1029 airblast sprayer. Treatments were arranged as completely randomized units consisting of single trees, each replicated 4 times. Applications were made on 9 May (PF), 18 May, 30 May, 11 Jun, 25 Jun, 9 Jul, 23 Jul, and 3 Aug. Ziram, Benlate, and Captan were applied separately to all treatments. Harvest fruit finish data were taken on 13 Aug from 50 fruit taken randomly from the periphery of the tree from each replicate, for a total of 200 fruit per treatment.
