Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Micronised and non-micronised sulphur controlled peach scab equally well in both years on both cultivars.
- Intervention effect Six half-dose applications of either sulphur formulation were less effective on Contender when scab incidence exceeded 90%.
- Intervention effect Sulphur programmes did not significantly affect harvested fruit colour or flesh firmness versus the industry standard.
- Observation Soluble solids differed significantly among fungicide programmes without a consistent pattern by sulphur particle size or reduced application.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that six sulphur applications suffice under low to medium disease pressure.
