Since 2011, the WTFRC has conducted studies in apple and cherry to generate pesticide residue data for commonly used insecticides and fungicides to help Washington growers make more informed choices about their spray programs. The WTFRC Internal Program recently completed its 2019 study in apple which included 10 insecticides/acaricides and 5 fungicides in two distinct application scenarios in a modern high-density ‘Gala’ orchard. The results of that study are available below, as well as similar reports from previous years on apple and cherry.
