Cherry fruit fly (Third cover)

• Materials: Use one of :
  • GF-120 NF @ 1.5 L/ha
    or Entrust 80 W @ 109 g/ha
  • Admire 240 @ 233 mL/ha
  • Diazinon 50 W - see label
  • Zolone Flo @ 2.75 L/ha
  • Sevin XLR @ 6.25 L/ha
• Comments: Check preharvest interval before spraying early maturing cherries. See Table 7-7. Products Used on Sweet Cherries, page 163.
  GF-120: Spray as soon as monitoring traps indicate flies are present or 2-3 weeks before ripening. GF-120 is a bait formulation that requires large droplet size (4-6 mm); specialized application equipment may be needed. GF-120 will lose effectiveness if exposed to rain or overhead irrigation.
  Admire: Monitor for cherry fruit fly and apply as a foliar spray within 6 days of first fly emergence. Thorough uniform coverage is necessary for optimal control. Allow at least 10 days between applications.
  Sevin XLR: Provides 5-7 days protection.
  

Brown rot (Third cover)

Precautions

Read the product label and follow all safety precautions.

Consult the product label for suggested water volumes. Otherwise, use enough water to ensure thorough spray coverage. Where the product rate is listed in amount per 1,000 L and if a water volume is not provided on the label, use enough water to wet the foliage to the near drip point.

Products are listed by fungicide and insecticide group. Use products from different groups to prevent pest resistance. For resistance management, refer to Pest Resistance to Insecticides, Fungicides, Miticides.

For preharvest interval, re-entry period, maximum number of applications and chemical group, see Table 7-7. Products Used on Sweet Cherries.
