If I am required to spray prior to harvest, when should I start?

You may be required to spray your commodities prior to harvest. If you plan to harvest on a certain date, the pre-harvest treatment schedule chart will help you determine when you need to start and how often you need to treat. Remember, CDFA needs to monitor the pre-harvest treatment for it to be considered part of the required treatments. (Link to Pre-Harvest Treatment Schedule)
