STONE FRUIT PETAL FALL - 5TH COVER SPRAYS
| Time of Application | Material/gal water | Suggested To Control | Remarks |

2 tbsp captan 50W plus 1 tsp malathion 57EC plus esfenvalerate (use label rates) 1st-5th covers or 2 fl oz Fruit Tree & Plant Guard 1.0 tbsp carbaryl 80S |
brown rot, scab, powdery mildew, curculio, mites, aphids, oriental fruit moth | Esfenvalerate is toxic to orchard predators. If mites build up, a 2.0% solution of JMS Stylet Oil may be applied at 10- to 14-day intervals against mite eggs, as long as mites persist, but do not use Captan in combination with JMS Stylet Oil or any type of oil. Malathion is not registered for aphids or oriental fruit moths on nectarines, but if used for other insects, aphid and oriental fruit moths will not be a problem. Do not make more than five applications of Fruit Tree & Plant Guard per year, and do not apply it closer than 14 days to harvest. |
