Petal Fall Spray Timing For Orchards
Entomologist W S Hough recommends starting petal fall spray on the morning of Monday the 14th for most orchards. Some early bloom varieties shed petals early but can be sprayed now. If codling moth or leaf roller were problematic last year, use more lead arsenate. Materials for 100 gallons include lime sulfur 10 quarts, lime 5 to 60 pounds, lead arsenate 3 pounds, with mixing instructions. This spray targets leaf roller and cooling moth and helps season-long control.
