Experiment 2-Starkrimson

®

Due to miscommunication between our grower cooperator and the harvest crew, treatment fruit were
not harvested and stored for evaluation. Visual observations during the growing season were made.

The foliage on the Procure®50WS treated trees appeared larger and healthier. Growers' statement "I
thought foliage was better on all Procure treated trees", was consistent with our observations.


Several factors appear to have impacted the results of this experiment. The trees in this non-irrigated
block were drought stressed throughout the growing season. A light crop set in 1999 may have

effected the results as well. The significant reduction in Nova®40W rates throughout the primary scab
season by the grower may also have effected the treatment results.
