[Apple-Crop] Pristine fungicide

[David Doud]

FWIW, if anyone is wondering - I set up the scales to weigh 5oz of material and poured Pristine into an Assail measuring container until it balanced - this amount of Pristine was consistent with the 5oz mark on the container - so as a practical matter the Assail measuring container can be used to measure Pristine -

Both vary by specific weight, so the handy measuring device that comes with various granular materials is for the intended product  only.   There are relatively cheap, but accurate postage scales that you can purchase at an office supply store.   You can weigh the product once accurately and pour it into an appropriate volume measuring cup, and determine the volume that matches the weight that  is recommended per tank load. Put a mark with a permanent ink on your measuring device, measure up to that mark at each filling, and spray away.
