European canker is a serious threat in apples. The fungus enters the tree through wounds or fresh scar tissue. Left to its own devices, European canker can spread quickly and result in loss of yield; killing branches and even entire trees. A robust fungicide programme post-harvest is key, adjuvant included. Not only for spread, but also for rainfastness, a must during the unpredictable autumn season. David Lingan, UPL NZ Adjuvant Product Manager, explores European canker control and how Bond Xtra super spreader and sticker gives captan a helping hand.
With Elisabeth Johnston, UPL NZ Marketing Manager, as your host.
