Determining the legitimacy of the claims that Headline Fungicide F500 fungicide helps draught toleration in deciduous fruit tree
Student Name: Michael Yuan. UCD Department: Pomology. UCD Mentor: Ken Shackel.
The project will be conducted on a plot containing four deciduous fruit trees (apple, nectarine, cherry, and almond) that are subjected to various conditions. Two trees of each species will be measured over time for each condition, either control or sprayed with the fungicide, in either dry or wet soil. Each tree’s growth will be measured and the water stress level taken with a pressure pump, and the results will be analyzed to determine the results of spraying Headline Fungicide on draught resistance.
