Since 2011, the WTFRC has conducted studies in apple and cherry to generate pesticide residue data for commonly used insecticides and fungicides to help Washington growers make more informed choices about their spray programs. The WTFRC Internal Program recently completed its 2017 study in apple which included 7 insecticides/acaricides and 5 fungicides, as well as considering the effects of spraying concentrate (100 gal water/acre) vs. dilute (200 gal water/acre) in a modern high density orchard. The results of that study, as well as previous reports from similar projects on apple and cherry are now available on the WTFRC homepage: www.treefruitresearch.com
