Crop: Apricots Variety: Patterson ReTain rate: 1 pouch/A Application date: June 17 Source: Valent U.S.A.
Crop: Peaches ReTain rate: 1 pouch/A Application timing: Two weeks before harvest Source: Valent U.S.A.
How To Use Rate
1 pouch/A one to two weeks prior to the anticipated beginning of the normal harvest period of untreated fruit for the current season ReTain efficacy requires that fruit and foliage receive thorough spray coverage. To ensure thorough coverage adjust water volumes based on tree size and spacing and use calibrated spray equipment (i.e. orchard air blast sprayer). Excessive spray application volumes that result in spray runoff will reduce product performance. In most cases, 100 gallons per acre has been shown to be effective. For optimal response, use ReTain with a 100% organosilicone surfactant. Use a final surfactant concentration of 0.05 to 0.1% (v/v) in the spray tank. To reduce foaming, add the adjuvant last and minimize agitation.
