A sample from the quick guide:

Final Eco Apple Protocol Quick Guide V 7.5 – FOR 2011 SEASON – 04/07/2011
This guide is designed for growers to quickly access information based on apple growth stages.  Other factors remain critically important. These include scouting and trapping, monitoring weather and using a season-long approach.  It will not be necessary to take actions at every growth stage.  There may be other products available that are not listed here, and not all products listed here may be available in every state.  FOLLOW THE ECO APPLE PROTOCOL, YOUR STATE REGULATIONS AND ALL LABEL DIRECTIONS.
