6mm is just barely shy
of a quarter inch, not an eighth. 25.4mm per inch. My allergist’s
office used to have a sign saying to tell them if, after a shot, you got a
wheal on your arm greater than 25 cm. I’m sure they meant mm – a 10
inch wheal would need more than one arm… ~ Stephen From:
nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Mark, I have never seen PC really any longer than 5-6mm. I have
probably seen nearly 100 or so and they have all been around that
size. For those not acquainted with the metric measurement of insects,
6mm=1/8". You spray at petal fall because you want the PC adults to ingest the
spray before they lay eggs so they never have the chance to lay those
eggs. If the spray is done at petal fall before full fruit
set, it is in place to be ingested as the females begin to strike the fruit
which can happen as quickly as 2-3 days from petal fall. I have seen
strikes on fruit as small as 3mm in Dennis Norton |
