The deputy state entomologist from Colorado Agricultural College notes dormant season spraying effectively controls injurious pests such as San Jose scale and other scale insects. Oil sprays, miscible or soluble oil emulsions, mix with water and can be applied when leaves are off the trees if temperatures exceed 60 degrees. Most spraying occurs in spring, with fall and early winter work used for partial coverage. Plan orchard and shade tree spray supplies now, since ready prepared oil sprays are readily available.
The purple scale has weakened to at most 2 percent live scale in many orchards this past year. Yet a 1 to 2 percent presence in June could grow to a heavy infestation before harvest, risking frost damage in September and October. Orchardists should spray with emulsion promptly to protect fruit and keep trees healthy.
Winter spraying with lime sulphur is recommended to guard trees against San Jose scale and various diseases. It is inexpensive and can be done during lighter agricultural tasks. San Jose scale can kill trees if unchecked, spreading slowly between trees but rapidly within a tree, aided by mites and winds. The stationary adults and short-lived mobile offspring mean precautions are crucial, as progeny from a single female may exceed 3,000,000 in one summer.
