Both regional, and model-based temperature data sources suggest earlier application timing than Semios. If insecticide products are applied too early, they may be less effective. For example, if poor spray timing increased damaged by 0.4% this would result in a loss of at least $25.00 per acre, per generation.
Collecting temperature data from inside the orchard’s canopy allows growers to more accurately predict NOW generations for optimal spray timing.
