Use separate sprayers or rinse with ammonia solution, wear waterproof gloves, and test the sprayer with water first. Captan cafungicide and all purpose fruit tree sprays are recommended for roses tomatoes iris and peonies with regular 10 day intervals through the growing season. Fruit growers should monitor pests and apply sprays thoroughly to protect leaves and fruit from disease spores and insects. Check fruit for freeze damage by halving some lower fruits to inspect discolored centers.
