Iowa State College horticulture expert Dr Ward recommends applying calyx spray when about six to seven percent of petals have fallen. He stresses not to trigger too early or late and notes arsenate of lead protects against the first moth brood if injected before calyx closes. Lime sulfur also works, bees should be watered or removed during spraying, and a third spray follows in 28 to 14 days.
