I hope to never have a problem with PLC. I have been spraying chlorothalonil as per label.
I found leaf drop is a symptom of having wet feet for to long. After the soil dries up some leaves turn orange and some times they develop red spots that drop out like shot hole before they drop. It only happens in the spring during rainy season.
Im digging a few shollow drainage ditches with the tractor that will dump in to the pond, I hope those will help. I was going to tile but after the two floods and super wet spring/early summer I got a great chance to observe the way water moves through the site. I believe I can get by with shallow drainage ditches instead.
Dont need immediately at all… and hopefully someone has already done the calulation already. But would like to know the amount of Topsin M in tsp per gallon of water for stone fruits.
Label says max 1/2 lb per 100 gallons water, min 1/3 lb per 100 gallons water. It’s a dry powder so…
It looks like 2 grams per gallon which is around half a teaspoon assuming its of average density. Weigh out 2 grams and drop it into a 1/2tsp measurer to get a better estimate. I always do the weigh thing myself to initially calibrate, and then write the tsp/tbsp/cup per gallon amount on the package.
I ordered Topsin M WSB from Martin’s produce, I recieved Talaris 70 WSB. Both have the same active ingredient, thiophanate-methyl, at the same concentration of 70.0%. I suspect Talaris 70 WSB is a generic equivalent to Topsin M WSB? This is OK with me, so i’ll run with it. I probably have a life time supply. I was plesently surprised to see stones, apples and even pears are label listed. Plus a label large enough to read without a magnifying glass
Regalia users, do you use the 2.6T per gallon which is the upper end of label recommendation or the 4T listed here? Did I miss 4 somewhere on the label? (Totally possible.) I went off the 2.6T ratio last year and it worked great for CAR, but I had other issues and wondering if there is value to upping.
Where do you get 2.6tsp? The label indicates 2 quarts per 100 gallons is a mid-range amount which is 4tsp per gallon. In any case the label has a very wide range so it’s a bit of a crap shoot.
BTW “T” usually means tablespoons, not teaspoons. I assume you meant teaspoons…
I meant T for tablespoons, but I see that my exhausted brain entirely missed that you wrote “t”teaspoons! Sorry for causing confusion. I have in my notes that the label said 1.3-2.6T per gallon. Clearly something went amiss last spring calculating or my label is different? I’ll have to check it. With small trees I was just doing 1.5L sprayer and using 1T.
You might have a different packaging than the one I have, my label is in the link in my post. I think 1.3-2.6Tbsp is a pretty reasonable interpretation of the commercial label, thats 2-4 quarts per 100 gallons which is in the range they list of 1-4 quarts per 100 gals. I picked 2 quarts somewhat arbitrarily as the midpoint of that range, 4tsp or 1.3Tbsp…
