On August 10, the N.Y. DEC approved the expanded registration of Pyramite 60WS for the control of mites on all stone fruit crops including apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches, plums and prunes. This label change pertains to all of New York State except for Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties), owing to the Department's concerns regarding the potential for groundwater contamination. Product use rates are the same as those already established in apples and pears (maximum of 2 applications at 2.2 oz/100 gal for European red mite; 3.3 oz/100 gal for twospotted spider mites). Pre-harvest intervals are: 7 days for peaches, nectarines, plums and prunes; post-harvest only (300 days PHI) in apricots and cherries.
