Spraying Peaches
And Plums Explained I
(By Co. Agt. Jim Reese) I
During the past few weeks I I
have had many inquiries in re- I
gard to the spraying of peaches I
and plums. So far the season I
has been excellent for produc- I
ing these fruits. Trees are now I
beginning to bloom' and there I
are only two things which might I
cause a crop failure. The first I
being a late freeze and there I
is nothing we can do to prevent I
this. The second factor would be I
insects and here we can take
steps to prevent loss of the crop.
The following insects and di-
seases are most commonly found
on peaches and plufns: Curculio
(worms) — these are the worms |
that puncture the fruit when it
is partially grown and causes
it to drop from the tree, brown
rot, leaf curl, scab and San Jose
scale also cause quite a bit of
damage however the curculio is
the major pest.
The first spray should not be
used until one-half to two- thirds
of the blossoms have fallen.
There are several reasons for
not spraying before the blos-
soms have fallen off — these
being the fact that during the
spraying process some of the
pollen would be knocked off
thereby cutting down on your
set of fruit. Another factor here
is that by using poisons on the
blooms any bees which aid in
pollinization would be killed.
This first spray should be fol-
lowed from ten to fourteen days
later and a third spray from
ten to fourteen days after the
second.
There are two sprays that
might be used to control the in-
sects and diseases already men-
tioned. The first which is re-
commended in Extension Bulle-
tin B-73, “Orchard Manage-
ment”, is as follows: To control
curculios (worms) brown rot
and scab use orchard lime or
good hydrated lime 4 pounds,
zinc sulfate 2 pounds, wettable
