I ordered the electrostatic nozzle. For anybody who's interested, groit.co has the nozzles for around $360 shipped, which is a pretty reasonable price for those.
I'll let you know how it works in the next couple of weeks. It's probably going to take me a weekend to get it hooked up.
Can anyone name this disease and prescribed cure for it? Branches have have spots with symptoms like snake shedding skin. It does seems to effect growth of the trees or vigor.
No, I don't think they will harm the mister. I've just had bad experiences with leaf burn. My ambarella will almost universally defoliate if sprayed with oil.
The usual maximum of oil is 2 1/2 fluid ounces per gallon of spray mix (= 2% volume / volume), but some leaves cannot take that much. Also, what leaves can take, without spray-burn damage, varies by temperature.
Fully hardened-up mango leaves are very tough, and can usually take the highest permitted dosages of spray ingredients, in cool weather.
The most reliable trees in my yard are Lemion Meringue, NMD #4 and Carrie. I might add Kesar to that list depending on its performance this year. It is loaded with tiny fruits but I have started seeing signs of powdery mildew.
I have this on my mango cheat sheet that I put together:
CAVEAT: I put the cheat sheet together early in my mango career so the sources could be any website or book out there mixed with this forum. I can't stand behind how accurate any of this info is. That being said, Sheehan raved about this so I have 2 of them.

[/size]‘Imam Pasand’ is one of the best mangos of India, ideally suited for dessert, the table and show. The fruit weigh 16 oz or more and are a beautiful smooth oval at maturity. The skin is a dark green, with distinct white highlights over the entire surface. Upon ripening the fruit can attain a deep yellow blush the shoulders and mid-section. The tree has a trailing growth habit and is easily controlled by annual pruning. The properly pruned tree will have a full, spreading canopy of 8 to 10 ft in height and spread. During the fruiting season of June and July, ‘Imam Pasand’ hangs heavy with consistent production. The fruit should be harvested mature green and ripened off the tree at a temperature of 75° to 85° F. Harvesting should occur 2 to 4 weeks before ripening on the tree for the development of the best quality. Properly harvested and ripened fruit have a fiberless, silky flesh with a deep, sweet flavor and distinct citrus overtones. The tree and fruit are tolerant of diseases and require little in the way of special care.
