Getting ready to spray the blueberries!!

[PANNU98]

A few pictures i took before i started spraying. It is a Kubota M8540 narrow tractor pulling a custom built 300 gallon sprayer created for blueberries. I sure am loving the new kubota, it is a pleasure to operate!

Don't let the "Wax" guys see these pictures!!:laughing:

What are you spraying them this early for? No leaves o them yet, is there??

 

[SanDucerro]

Pretty neat! :thumbsup: I'll need something similar once the vines are established next year.

Nice rig for sure.

The mud is not pretty.

We are spraying fungicides, the buds are starting to swell so the plants are susceptible to diseases such as Mummy Berry.

Nice rig!

How many trees do you have? Over how much acreage? (I ask because I'd like to try growing some myself--they're one of the healthiest things you can eat, from what I've read).

Is there a way to grow them ORGANIC, and use some other method to protect them?

Do you have a link to the MSDS for the fungicide? What is the particular fungicide you use?

Thanks.

Nice setup, you've got mud like we do.

Nice rig. Your sprayer high pressure and volume to move and cover foliage? Did y'all have a good crop last year?

you plant about 1200 plants an acre planted 3 feet away in rows that are 10 feet apart. There are some organic sprays such as Serenade that does almost the same work these normal pesticides do, even better sometimes!
The fungicides we where using where Bravo and Topas.
