Abstract

Dose expressions are highly variable in pome and stone fruits, grapes and veggies as high crops in EU countries. Therefore, dose adjustments in high growing crops have been discussed over many years. The leaf wall area (LWA) method appears to be favored as dose expression in high crops not only for fruit trees and grapes but also in high growing vegetable crops particularly in greenhouses (tomato, pepper, eggplant, cucumber). The leaf wall area (LWA) is a function of the canopy height and the row spacing.
