Prepare Now for Spraying Season
Begin sprayer maintenance as gardeners plan for a 1949 fruit crop. For apples treat dormant days with liquid lime sulfur or dormant oil before growth starts and no freezing for 24 to 48 hours. Use lime sulfur at 6% with water, or oil at 2% with water, and adjust for pouch fruit and raspberries with specified dilutions. Plums receive lime sulfur before buds swell, using 2 quarts in 5 gallons water. Leave name at county extension director’s office to receive seasonal spray schedules.
