Professors H. S. Jackson and H. F. Wilson of the Oregon Agricultural College explain that the time to spray for apple scab and codling moth is near. They note these pests are major apple issues requiring spring and summer spray, and combine guidance on life history and control, with timing determined by the organism.
Apple scab is a fungus disease attacking foliage and fruit. It causes circular olive green to brown spots on leaves that lead to defoliation, russetted fruit, and distorted growth. Spores spread by wind from infected leaves and fruit, with primary spring infections and weather sensitive germination. The life cycle alternates between sexual spores on fallen leaves and summer conidial spores on living tissue, with overwintering larvae of moths affecting control. Bordeaux sprays after harvest and winter cleaning reduce late spread. avoid moving infested fruit to stores.
The codling moth spends the winter in the larval stage within a silken cocoon. It pauses activities while within this protective cover and resumes emergence when temperatures rise, allowing mating and feeding to restart in orchards.
A six spray program guides apple orchard protection from scab and moths. It covers lime-sulfur plus arsenate of lead combinations, timing around bud break petals fall egg hatch, and fall sprays. Density of dangerous pests and regional timing adjust the sequence.
The fungus causing apple scab overwinters in decaying leaves on the ground. It is advised to destroy fallen leaves to reduce inoculum and lessen future infections. Implement sanitation measures in orchards and home apple plants to disrupt the disease cycle.
