Peach curl risk rises for coming season
H. F. Winter from the station's botany and plant pathology department warns peach growers that curl infections may be more severe this season. Fall spraying is advised to prevent late infections, and trees should be sprayed as soon as temperatures hit 40 degrees or higher if last fall spray was incomplete. A few days of milder weather can trigger curl after buds swell. If curl control has been difficult, an early spring spray is recommended even after a fall application.
