Iowa State College horticulture expert W B Ward advises applying calyx spray when about 95 percent of petals have fallen. Do not apply too early or too late to guard against codling moth entry at blossom ends. Use arsenate of lead at 1½ pounds per 50 gallons and ensure proper pressure. For small orchards, spray rods or a powered outfit with 225 to 250 pounds pressure is recommended.
