Fighting Apple Scab in Nebraska Orchards
A Farmers' Review reader asks about controlling apple scab. Spraying helps but is not always successful. Winter copper sulphate treatments use 3 to 4 pounds per 50 gallons when buds are dormant, while foliage sprays require 1 pound per 250 gallons. Bordeaux mixture is most effective, applied before bloom and after petals fall, with a possible third spray about ten days after a wet season.
