Article Synopsis
- Scab disease severely impacts pecan production in the southeastern U.S., necessitating numerous fungicide applications for control.
- A new double volute-generated focused airflow sprayer (DVS) was evaluated against standard sprayers (SS) and showed superior scab control and better spray coverage in taller trees (over 13.8 m).
- Results over three years indicated that DVS-treated trees had significantly lower scab severity and greater fruit weight than those treated with SS, suggesting that DVS could be a more effective and economical solution for managing scab in pecan orchards.
