Bananas/Lyches/Mangoes
Great results and can now spray his 30 acres in just 10 minutes.
Outcome
Great results and can now spray his 30 acres in just 10 minutes.
Background
PaulTaylor uses Profert through his airblast sprayer to both aid his soil fertiliser programs and to assist him with reducing other problems he believes Profert is helping with. These include black spot control in bananas, Eriaose mite on lychees, and nematodes throughout the soil.
What we recommended
Past experience had shown Paul that applying Profert and Xtend would give him both increased production and increased control of other pests. Paul uses a program of spraying every 3 weeks in summer and every 4-5 weeks in winter.
Results achieved
Using the products Profert and Xtend, Paul believes he grows the best bananas (Lady Finger) in the district. His winter bananas are "thicker" in the middle, more like his summer crop. Paul gets "top" price in the southern markets (Melbourne). He also now has less nematode problems and a noticeable reduction in other diseases in his crops.
 
Our Solution
1. Use5ml/l of Profert every 14 to 30 days with the addition of 1 ml/l Xtend. Higher rates of Xtend are generally used to control black spot( cercospora)
