Effective control of apple scab in bramley's seeding
Routine control of apple scab through fungicide application during the spring and summer period is essential for business success in commercial apple production. The optimum interval between fungicide application, and thus the total number of fungicide applications during the production cycle depends on prevailing weather conditions, and the associated incidence of Apple Scab Infection Periods (ASIPs).
Evaluation of Bramley's Seedling Apples under High Densities
The need to replant using modern production systems is clearly identified as one of the ways to improve yield and quality. One such system is the high density orchard, where trees are planted at much higher densities.
