- Spray volumes must be sufficient to provide good coverage of foliage. Reduced spray volumes may be used for small trees where complete coverage can be obtained with fewer than 100 gallons per acre.
- Effective programs include alternate applications or tank mixtures with other products that have a different mode of action (non-Group 24 bactericide). This will reduce the potential for bacteria developing resistance to KASUMIN.
- The addition of wetting agents or spreader-sticker agents may enhance the efficacy of KASUMIN.
