A crop pest bulletin notes ready made lime sulfur sprays cost 7 to 10 dollars per 50 gallon barrel, while a home mix costs about 3 dollars. It explains mixing steps with lime and sulfur, testing with Beaume hydrometers, and outlines seasonal spray schedules for apples, peaches, plums, cherries, and general orchard care.
