The pattern of shade in the rows shows that the canopy is open, permitting good distribution of sunlight from top to bottom within the canopy. Maximizing the surface area of the effective thin canopy in the Tatura trellis has significantly contributed to the high yields. At left, the Bartlett trees are now producing commercial yields near Ardmona that we believe are at the biological limit of pear production. Yields of 114 to 123 tonnes per hectare/bins per acre is two to three times the average yield of commercial orchards with Bartlett trees in the Goulburn Valley. 1-800-250-5024 • www.CertisUSA.com Recommendations: Cueva, Kocide Integrated copper solutions for season- long fire blight and summer disease control Double Nickel Broad spectrum foliar powdery mildew and fire blight disease control OSO FRAC 19 fungicide for summer diseases and post-harvest protection CYD-X HP, Madex HP Codling moth and Oriental fruit moth control PFR-97 Broad spectrum insecticide and miticide Neemix Insect growth regulator for psyllid control Deliver Bt for leafroller larvae control Screen Duo For sunburn protection and heat stress reduction Diseases and Pests: Fire blight Codling moth, Oriental fruit moth Powdery mildew Psyllids, aphids, mites, leafrollers Summer diseases and post-harvest rots Biopesticides.
