2 Committed to Tree Fruit Like you, we re serious about tree fruit production. We support your business with our diverse, growing portfolio of insect, disease, weed control and growth regulator products for tree fruit. And our dedicated sales, marketing and research teams continue to deliver new, innovative solutions to the Canadian tree fruit market. This guide contains technical information on our complete tree fruit portfolio including application rates and timing, modes of action and information on resistance management. As a quick reference, we ve also included a Product Reference Guide containing key application information for all products (page 37) and a Pest Control Reference Guide (page 39) for an at-a-glance view of which pests are controlled by each of our products.

4 HERBICIDES Alion 7 Ignite 8 Sencor 9 In your strategies to produce a healthy, high-yielding tree fruit or tree nut crop, weed control is important. Weeds can seriously affect fruit development by competing directly with your trees for nutrients, water, sunlight and physical space. Weeds also provide a home for harmful disease and insects to live. By adding a herbicide to your plans, you can make sure that weeds don t get a chance to put growth and future quality and yield at risk.

Do not apply Flint for apple scab control in Ontario. Fully systemic fungicide rapidly absorbed by roots and leaves Moves both up and down inside the plant to protect new growth between applications Protective defense: stops plant infection by inhibiting spore germination and penetration into the plant Therapeutic defense: enhances the plant s own ability to fight disease by inducing an early warning and rapid response system in the plant, boosting the plant s own defense system Complex mode of action helps avoid resistance development Group U fungicide Formulated as an 80% water dispersible granule (WDG) Available in 2.26 kg foil-lined bags Rainfast in one hour Apply Aliette to plants that are actively growing Avoid applying in the very early spring before leaves have emerged and in the late fall when leaves have started to senesce There is a risk of plant toxicity when mixing Aliette with copper products. Apply copper products separately. Broad-spectrum fungicide with long-lasting preventive and translaminar activity Protects the leaf surface and penetrates the leaf tissue A potent inhibitor of spore germination and mycelial growth Low use rates Gentle on a wide range of beneficial organisms Excellent crop tolerance Group 11 fungicide Formulated as a 50% water dispersible granule (WDG) Available in 567 g bottles Rainfast in two hours Do not apply Flint in combination with organosilicate surfactants as crop injury may occur Bayer CropScience does not recommend the application of Flint in combination with tank-mix adjuvants (such as non-ionic surfactants, crop oil concentrates, penetrants, spreaders, stickers, etc.) at bloom as crop injury may occur To ensure long-term control of diseases, spray programs should follow responsible resistance management strategies that rotate Flint with other fungicides with different modes of action

A broad-spectrum fungicide with Group 7 (fluopyram) and 9 (pyrimethanil) modes of action, Luna Tranquility is an all-in-one formulation that effectively targets leaf scab and powdery mildew in apples. Luna Tranquility utilizes a unique Group 7 fungicide and the proven Group 9 fungicide that controls strains of apple scab that are resistant to Group 3 and 11 products. Luna Tranquility is unlike any other previous SDHI fungicide in that it is the only co-formulation fungicide that controls leaf scab in apples (including resistant strains), while providing protection against powdery mildew through the same application. Pear Pear scab L/ha ( ml/ac.) Apply early in the season at 7 to 12 day intervals from green tip to pink stage Do not apply post-bloom 72 day A broad-spectrum fungicide with preventive, systemic, and post-infection (for apple scab) properties Best suited for use in a preventive treatment program Post-infection properties are effective for up to 72 hours after apple scab infection An all-in-one formulation with two active ingredients Groups 7 and 9 New and unique class of Group 7 fungicide different from any other previous SDHI Unique spectrum of activity allows for timing flexibility Co-formulation of Group 7 and 9 fungicides Rainfast when dry Thorough coverage is essential for maximum protection To limit the potential for development of disease resistance to these fungicide classes, do not make more than two sequential applications of Luna Tranquility or any Group 7 or Group 9 fungicide before rotating with a fungicide from a different group The maximum number of applications of a Group 7 fungicide should be limited to 1 per season when the total number of sprays in a program is 1 to 2, and 2 per season when the total number of sprays is 3 to 5. A third application can be made when a total of 6 to 11 sprays are made in a program. Where 12 or more sprays are applied, a fourth application is allowed. Excellent early-season control of leaf scab with up to 72 hours post-infection activity Provides systemic control that works well in cool or warm weather, for those critical early-season sprays Rapid uptake with translaminar activity to protect both sides of the leaf Protects against botrytis and penicillium storage diseases in apples Group 9 fungicide Formulated as 400 g/l liquid flowable Available in 2 L and 6.07 L jugs Rainfast in two hours Use Scala early in the season, then alternate with fungicides with a different mode of action Use the higher rate under high disease pressure and for maximum post-infection activity Formulated as 500 g/l liquid flowable Available in 2 L jugs

Prior to the use of a surfactant with Movento in tree fruits and nuts, the mixture must be tested in a small area to ensure no risk of phytotoxicity. Good coverage is important product will not move to older leaves, as these leaves are not being fed by the plant s transport system Apply when sufficient leaf tissue is present to allow for maximum uptake of Movento by the plant For high insect pressure and for faster knockdown, a follow-up application may be necessary seven days after the initial application The efficiency of Movento may not be apparent for 10 to 21 days

16 Growth Regulator Ethrel 31 A plant growth regulator can modify the growth and development of your tree fruit crop on both established and new plantings to provide a favourable boost to fruit maturity and colouring, while simplifying mechanical harvesting.

17 31 Growth Regulator 2013 TREE FRUIT PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 TREE FRUIT PRODUCT GUIDE Growth Regulator 32 Growth Regulator / Ethrel Helps fruit ripen at the same time for once-over harvesting. Rates and timing for uniform ripening in apples To stimulate uniform ripening and colouring without loosening, use a foliar application of Ethrel at 1.75 to 3.5 L/ha mixed with a pre-harvest drop control product. Begin spraying 2 to 3 weeks before you would normally begin harvesting and about 2 weeks before desired harvest date. Early and Midseason Varieties Tydeman, Milton, Wealthy, McIntosh, etc L Ethrel / 2,000-4,000 L water/ha (709 ml Ethrel / L water/ac.) Water volume depends on type and delivery of sprayer used and tree size Late Maturing Varieties Cortland, Red Delicious, Rome, Idared, Jonathan, etc. 3.5 L Ethrel / 1,500-4,000 L water/ha (1.42 L Ethrel / L water/ac.) Rates and timing to increase flowering on new plantings in apples To increase flowering on new plantings, apply Ethrel to non-bearing trees 1 to 2 weeks after peak bloom. Vegetative growth will be reduced, thereby promoting flower development the following spring. On young orchard trees planned for production in the current year, delay applications until 3 to 5 weeks after full bloom to avoid over thinning and misshapen fruit.
