The new spray selection tool is launching soon on DAS. To use this new tool, subscribe to DAS.
Spray Selection Tool
We are excited to introduce a new feature to DAS – the spray selection tool. The Washington State University tree fruit crop protection guide has always been available online, and now this tool is integrated into the DAS platform. The spray selection tool allows users to select their crop, growth stage, and target pest or pathogen. The guide then shows a list of possible materials to apply, and their efficacy on your target and other important pests.
