Imidan Dosage ?

[buckvelvet]

Heres the link the manual. http://www.gowanco.com/Document.aspx?id=875

For apples it says

2.68 kg/ha

, that is speaking another language for me. Captan is easy enough as is dormant oil as they us tbsp per gal but I'm not sure on this.

Ha = hectare. http://www.aqua-calc.com/what-is/area/hectare

I know KG is kilogram but how do I measure how much powder goes in per OZ or gal?

Another label shows more workable measurements.

¾ - 1 lb. per 100 gals

I believe this ends up being around 1/6 tsp per 28 oz, i'm going to use a handhelp spray bottle this year as I just want have to many trees to spray yet.

Will get a really nice backpack next year when I need more volume.

Here's what I do:

I use 1lb bag for 60 gallons which is a bit of a high dose but it works. I am probably wasting chemicals but it's easier to use a soluble bag and let it dissolve in tank and not mess with that nasty chemical trying to pour in 3/4 of a pound bag. I do a much larger dose of captan maybe 2 lbs per tank 60 gallons. Just FYI. You don't need to spray Imidan until after petal fall so you have time. Captan sprays will start sooner. Maybe in few weeks for me with this weather

You don't use imidian before the flower pedals fall? I'll have to re-look at the program I was gonna use.

Imidan is deadly to bees and if you spray during bloom you will kill all the bees. After petal fall the bees aren't around the trees as much and thus less be mortality. It's about the time that the pests start coming out anyway so you should be fine waiting until then
