orchardwide

Cooling crops by overhead sprinkling systems is an idea that hadn't been given much thought until the sudden and prolonged heat wave hit the grape and orange crop in the San Joaquin Valley […] On a complete orchardwide installation, a drop of 15 degrees is expected.

Translocated systemic herbicides may be used to control annual weeds in spot infestations of perennial weeds. Most foliar-active systemic herbicides are too toxic to trees to permit their orchardwide use at rates required to control perennial weeds. An exception is 2,4-D. This herbicide is effective for suppression of field bindweed and other susceptible species at rates up to […]

It appears that because damage can be, and often is, distributed throughout an entire orchard, damage prevention has to be orchardwide. Evaluating damage by crows and other birds in almond orchards is difficult. Most growers simply estimate the entire loss for the orchard.

One sticky card per acre is used to monitor for the presence of European apple sawfly in IPM orchards to determine whether an orchardwide chemical application at petal fall is justified for this pest. Organic growers can trap out a significant number of the egg-laying adults with additional cards and can call upon other remedial measures (as outlined in Chapter 6) in an exceptionally bad infestation year.

Timing is important, because EAS [European apple sawfly] larvae are much more susceptible than pupae.⁴ This biocontrol opportunity to reduce resident populations orchardwide every few years may serve well in isolated ecosystems. […] One cost-effective way of delivering spinosad is by way of a baited trap. Such is the basis of the CurveBall sphere trap for apple maggot fly. Spinosad is a hit-or-miss investment when applied orchardwide against this pest. When insects are drawn by scent to a visual allure, however, this biological toxin suddenly assumes certitude in delivering the desired result.
