<p>Kerik Cox at Cornell has done trials with this combination for
cedar apple rust, summer fungal diseases, and fireblight and has
had good results. <br>
</p>
<p>We started using the combination in our organic orchard last year
and did not see any problems with fruit russeting. Kerik did
caution me to use a high volume of water to avoid toxicity from
the copper (100 gallons per acre vs our normal 50 in our high
density orchard). We have used 2 qts/acre Cueva + 2 lbs/acre
2ble nickel. <br>
</p>
<p>Kerik also suggested that the 2ble nickel might be unnecessary
and that cueva alone might be sufficient, but that may be
theoretical at this point. The 2ble nickel does add a lot of
cost.<br>

<div dir="ltr">A couple years ago I recall discussion regarding
the use of Cueva/Double Nickel combination as an alternative
and/or rotation with strep for fireblight management. Is anyone
aware of further research regarding this combination esp as to
regards to crop safety and efficacy ?
