Products Used on Pears

Use this table as a guide but refer to product label for specific information.

The preharvest interval is the number of days between the last spray and first harvest.

The re-entry period is the minimum interval that must be observed between the application of the pesticide and work in the treated crop without protective equipment. If no re-entry period is stated on the label, assume the spray solution must be dry before re-entry can occur.

The maximum number of applications is the labelled maximum number for the growing season and may be higher than what is recommended for resistance management or for the preservation of beneficial insects.
