Good morning all,
I am working on getting the documentation set up for Primus' IPM Module 9 and was wondering if any of yall have advice or examples on how to set it up. We are an Apple Orchard and I was wondering if we could do a risk assessment on the spraying times (From my quick searches it looks like the majority of apple pollinators are active from 11-4pm instead of the 8-5pm timeframe primus uses). Additionally are there any practices you would recommend using for apples located in the Great Lakes area? I am trying to work with the Orchard Manager on this but would like to offer some solutions on my side, I know we use pheromones to inhibit reproduction and limit our spraying while we have our rented bees but I personally have not seen any other physical or mechanical pest prevention from the brief look over I did.
Thank you,
Seathalos
