The 4th category\u2013Medium\/High \u2014 consists of cultivars that could fall into either of these 2 categories. Under most conditions, they would have no scab problems under a regular spray program but in certain locations (below Highway 280, at low elevation, in crowded orchards) they will scab more and would need a high input program.

Their exclusion from these examples does not mean they do not control scab. On the contrary, many are very good fungicides and could be rotated into a program just as easily as what you see above. But, based on Dr. Tim Brenneman\u2019s data, we feel that these chemistries applied at the times shown above will offer maximum protection from leaf and nut scab. Group 3 and Group 11 fungicides are those containing both a Triazole and a Strobilurin fungicide chemistry (think Absolute, Stratego, Quadris Top, Amistar Top, Quilt, Brixen, Custodia, TopGuard EQ, and others)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the late foliage development this year, crop maturity could potentially be later than normal which means the need for these sprays in the medium to high input category could extend out beyond mid-August.
